Hi, rather new to all this so forgive my stupid questions.
Can someone tell me if it is possible to set up a connection to from my internal box to the outside world using only DNAT and *without* using MASQ?? (the internal network is a private 192.168.x.x type one)
I can get a connection that works if I use masquerading or if the HTTP proxy is enabled, but I can't get one with only DNAT
If I understand it correctly with DNAT
src[:D]st:service: src(no change): dst(MY_PC) service (no change)
should change a packet from the outside world to one directed to my PC.
Then internal(network):external(address):any->src=MASQ on external dst = no change
Should??? change the internal packet to make it look like it came from the firewall.
Should mention that all this is being done with the packet rule
internal(network), service any, destination any allowed
The above does not work. But when I add masquerading
network : internal
interface : external
I get acess to the outside world.
Which is good, but I still can't get access to my web sever from my local machine (the actual problem) With local host its OK but when I try the actual IP addres it bombs out.
Any hints anyone??
