klemm Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hi I tried to enable the internet connetcion sharing and used the mandrake wizard for that. I't works fine, but I dont like that it also installed Squid and transfers the traffic through a Squid proxy. My conf on the Mandrake 10Official: ppp+ to internet eth0 connected to the adsl modem eth1 connected to LAN. Shorewall firewall is also installed... I have just one other computer and dont find the proxy is needed. I tried to change some firewall settings, but I only managed to brake the conf. Anybody can give some good advise howTo get the connection sharing work wthout Squid between. ?

Gowator Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Go to www.shorewall.net and download the 2 interfqce quickstart. You do need IPTABLES and shorewall is as good a front end as any other. Read the news for Mandrake users on their site. The wizards are for people who dont want to understand whats happening and you obviously do :D so Id follow the shorewall docs and you can then use webmin to admin the firewall.

klemm Posted June 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Thanks Gowator The shorewall doc was really great... I still feel myselt a bit shy editingf the conf files manually and most of the confs I try to do with some gui or wizards... But I got my firewall conf rihgt and got rid of some useless services that were required by the MandrakeWiz. Klemm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 urpmi webmin (or better install from source) it has a shorewall module and it work nicely with the documentation! if your just a bit shy on editing by hand then webmin should make it easy ... its not so simple as click click click but at least it works :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
