arp problem? Howto fix

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings all;

I apologize if this is a duplicate post, but the first one has not come back 
in something like 20 minutes.

Now I have a new problem that seems to be iptables or arp related.

My network here consists of:
dsl modem<->router<-eth0(firewall box(gene))<->iptables<->eth1(firewall box(gene))<->netgear switch port1
netgear switch port 2<->main box(coyote)
netgear switch port 3<->shop box(shop)

I've just re-configured the 'main box' with the motherboards LAN connection, an nforce2
setup using the forcedeth driver.  I was formerly running a D-Link RTL-8139too
card in that box.

I can ping anywhere on the local net, or ssh into all of it, but cannot even ping
the router from gene, but I can ping gene from coyote or vice-versa  in
sub-millisecond timeings..

>From shop, I can ping the world, from gene I can ping the world, but I cannot
seem to get thru iptables from coyote, my main box.  All ip addresses are as 
they were before the card switch.

Nothing in the network configuration was changed here on gene, which is where
I'm posting this from.   The only thing changed on coyote is the bogus MAC address
of the nforce network port since its not hard coded into the chips, but is a bios entry.

iptables hasn't changed here, but everything has been either power cycled or
restarted except this box itself, which has a 72 day uptime ATM.  I see no reason
to do it since the shop box goes thru the same NAT and MASQUERADE in iptables
as coyote should be using.  In fact, the shop box is not being named in a
PORTFORWARD rule but is getting thru anyway.

What can I check next please?

Cheers, Gene
