    Good morning All:

    I'm trying to setup a Redhat 9 machine to do IP Masquerading on our
    internal network with a DSL modem. We're using an old Dell PE2300
    machine that seems to run the OS and X just fine. We've got two NIC's
    in the box, a Linksys and a Netgear; both are working. I can put the
    DSL on either card and get out to the world just fine.

    However, on the internal network I can not see nor ping any host. The
    internal IP of the machine is 192.168.2.1 (which is the same as the old
    DSL router that was physically removed). I can't ping anything. I
    look at an ifconfig -a printout and it shows zero packets received but
    a whole lot of dropped packets.

    I was always under the impression that I should be able to ping the
    'router' from the internal network and I can not. I've looked at
    everything I can think of including 'Security Settings' and made sure
    that (for now) the firewall is turned off (No Firewall). What else
    should I be looking at here, any ideas?

    Thanks,

    -brian
