Hey togehter, until the update to Kernel 2.6.22.x i had a well working, forwarding, proxying and natting infrastructure. Since this Kernel it is not working no longer, as internal traffice outside squid gets no longer forwarded. i have forwarding-rules for a transparent-proxy, that work now again. Internal and external. This must be because of squid forwarding the requests. e-mail is no longer working, as the request doesn't get forwarded to the mailserver. it stops somewhere on the firewall (3 nics, all use SNAT-Rules to mask their IP-Adresses). Traceroute also stopps on the firewall, nothing goes outside. The forward-bit is set in ip4_forward. Did they change something in iptables? Please help... Thanks in advance Roger
