This is a warning to you all if you do a clean install from the "latest.iso" for 5.024. I did my install, solved a login problem that I'll describe in another thread, and then went positively nuts being unable to get out to the web despite what I knew to be a good masq rule and good packet filter rules, and a known live connection proven by pinging the outside world from the ASL command prompt.
Turns out that my box created bogus, and completely uneditable, definitions for "Internal (network)" which resulted in good rules that meant nothing. I finally discovered this when I went into the Definitions => Networks and saw that there was no IP address/range for the Internal network. When I created my own, different LAN definition and gave it a distinct name, then set up my masq and rules to that definition, everything worked flawlessly. I still can't edit or delete the bogus definitions, though.
The only non-standard thing I did on the install was that I didn't take the IP address proposed to me for the internal interface, I gave it my own during the install.
It would be really nice to everybody if Astaro would fix this; it's the kind of thing a dumb guy like me assumes is OK at default, and burns up a huge amount of time figuring out what went wrong! [:(]
Anyway, with my own named LAN range everything is up and running. . .
