    Hi,

    i have a Debian (testing) machine as a firewall (named arthur) with 2
    nics, eth0 that is connected to the internet and gets an ip of the ISP
    via DHCP and eth1 which serves ip's for the lan and has ip 192.168.0.1.
    Currently there is only 1 other pc (named lancelot) besides the firewall
    machine in the network. It gets ip 192.168.0.10 from the DHCP server on
    the firewall.

    WORKS:
    ping from firewall to net
    ping from lan to net
    surfing net from lan

    DOESN'T WORK:
    ping from firewall to lan
    ping from lan to firewall

    I have disabled the iptables firewall on the firewall machine to be sure
    that this isn't it. Result is the same. The iptables script has
    ipforwarding enabled and uses a postrouting rule for masqueing. I have
    log rules for everything yet i don't see anything in /var/log/messages.

    I have also moved the files /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny ( i
    later want to be able to ssh to the firewall from the lan and these
    files are checked by sshd)

    I checked the FAQ, the Debian reference and google and couldn't seem to
    find an answer.

    Anybody knows what it could be? I have attached some conf files.
