Hi everyone,

I'm a bit of a linux newbie, so I'm hoping someone may be able to help
me out with this. I've just done a fresh install of Redhat 7.3 and I'm
trying to set it up as a router/gateway for my lan. I've installed the
bpalogin (http://bpalogin.sourceforge.net/) and tried to set up an
iptables firewall ala this site:
http://users.bigpond.net.au/LinuxRouter/

So, from my linux box I can access the web fine, but from my win2k box
on my lan I'm having some trouble. I can ping the linux box on eth1
which is the lan nic (192.168.0.1) and I can also ping eth0 which is
connected to my cable modem, but when I try and ping something on the
internet (such as a telstra dns box) it can't reach it. I've even
tried stopping the firewall but I still can't get out. I've got the
win2k box set up with 192.168.0.1 as it's gateway.

Can anyone point me in right direction?

Many thanks,
Adam
