LAN users unable to access two Internet sites

[Guest tuxg]

Hi,

 

LAN users could access the following two sites fine using a dial-up, but after setting up a linux gateway

on Mandriva 2006 with Squid proxy and Shorewall firewall running - now they cannot:

 

1) registration.sancharnet.in:8080 (which takes to: https://61.0.0.70: 8443)

2) http://www.eicindia.net/Public/Login.aspx

 

Two network interfaces, eth0 is external, eth1 is internal with IP 192.168.0.100.

ADSL router with 192.168.1.1 is the gateway.

 

Squid running on port 8080. Firewall security is set to: Higher.

Opening port 8443 in Shorewall (both udp and tcp), and adding 8443 to Squid safeports list in the ACL didn't help.

 

Pls advise me on how to fix this.

 

thank you,

kumar

first thing you'd want to do is determine exactly which program is causing the problem (or if it's a combination of the two):

 

stop squid, should be something like:

service squid stop

now see if you can access the sites. then, start squid back up (same line, start instead of stop) and stop shorewall:

service shorewall stop

and see if you can access the sites. last, stop them both, and see if you can access the sites.

 

if it works when squid is off, it's a squid problem. if it works when shorewall is off, shorewall is where we need to look. if it still doesn't work when both are off then something else is going on...

 

and welcome to the board ;)
