Guest matro197 Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Hi, Well today I installed Mandrake Multi Network Firewall. I went to my Win98 pc and try to login to the firewall through internet explorer but could'nt then I ping the firewall but destination unreacherable. I login the firewall and in the console I ping the win98 pc there was a connection with no errors. Also tried to ping the internet everything was fine, did I miss anything. I tried to locate docs for the Multi Network Firewall but to no avail. Your help here will be much appreciated. Now I know that IE won't work so I will be downloading Netscape. But still can't ping the firewall form my win98 pc. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 The firewall by default has icmp_request turned off on all devices. Which means you won't be able to ping the firewall from anywhere a couple of points you should note if the network addresses are on the same subnet the firewall won't work example: eth0 192.168.1.1 eth1 192.168.1.2 <-- won't work !!!!! also MNF is NOT IE friendly (it just doesn't work with that stoopid browser) try accessing the firewall with mozilla (or pheonix) https://192.168.1.1:8443/ if you have a look at your routing tables on the firewall, you will see why it won't work when the devices are on the same subnet. also I had to generate new ssl keys as root on the firewall: /usr/lib/ssl/mod_ssl/gen( something like genratekey.sh) then cp server.key and server.crt to /etc/http/conf/ssl/ (overwrite existing keys) then /etc/init.d/http-naat restart then you should all be good! p.s. the shameless plug on NZLUG worked :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
