Here's my setup. I have a cable modem running into my internal NIC on the astaro machine, and an outbound ethernet cable coming out of the external NIC on the astaro machine going into a linksys router (plugged into a LAN port not WAN so the router is essentially a dumb switch). That router (switch really) has a single PC plugged into it along with another router-turned-switch which has a bunch more PCs attached.
I have astaro setup to do DHCP and all the clients on the network can pull IP addresses perfectly. I have a masquerade rule setup to do Internal_Network__ to my External interface. I have tried setting up rules in the packet filter area to allow traffic from anywhere to anywhere and it *kind* of works - internet pages load extremely slowly. the Live log continually refreshes and shows endless numbers of packets getting dropped between the client (say 10.0.0.100) and the astaro gateway (10.0.0.1).
I don't have a clue why it's dropping packets INTERNALLY since I have the "allow all rule" set. Furthermore, the fact that internet pages are sort of working but really slowly due to all the dropped packets suggests it's not my ISP but something I've screwed up locally.
What else can I offer that might be of some use.....the astaro machine automatically gets its IP address and I've confirmed that works 100%. I've tried using the HTTP proxy feature but it doesn't seem to help at all.
One last thing I noticed I had 35 emails about my astaro machine getting portscanned by a local machine on my network.......some things just do not make sense
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? [:(]
