I did exactly as the guide said... the client(internal client) even gets an IP trough DHCP.... but the client is like 'Network is unreachable". I'm not sure what to do... I got all the kernel setting done, all the commands just pasted as my eth0/1 setup was identical to the guides setup

Hi,

Can you post the URL of the howto you are talking about ?
Can you post the error message(s) you are getting ?
Can you post the output of the following commands (as root) ?
Code:
ifconfig
netstat -rn
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -L

HOWTO Doc:http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml

ifconfig:
Code:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:11:2F:2B:C6:74 
          inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:23 Base address:0xec00

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:48:2B:FA:FB 
          inet addr:202.134.165.64  Bcast:202.134.165.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:12629 (12.3 Kb)  TX bytes:439 (439.0 b)
          Interrupt:18 Base address:0xd400

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback 
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)


netstat -rn is 1
netstat:
Code:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0
202.134.165.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth1
127.0.0.0       127.0.0.1       255.0.0.0       UG        0 0          0 lo
0.0.0.0         202.134.165.1   0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eth1



iptables -L:
Code:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         


is that helpful .. I might have mixed what you asked for.

Hi,

What system is running "the client" you are talking about ?
- if windows, can you post the output of (on the client) :
Code:
ipconfig /all
route print
tracert 204.74.99.100

- if gentoo (or linux), can you post the output of (on the client) :
Code:
ifconfig
netstat -rp
traceroute 204.74.99.100

emerge traceroute on the client if you don't have it installed yet. This command will show you the travel of IP packets from source (the client), eventualy to destination. This could show you where the problem is.

Sorry to only post questions and not answers here ;-)
Basicaly, if I understand your problem well, you have a gentoo box connected to the Internet, and a client box connected to your gentoo box.

Can you confirm that, from the gentoo box, you can join any host on the Internet ?
Then, from the client box, can you at least ping the local IP address ? From the client box, can you ping the IP address of eth0 of the gentoo box ?
From the client, try : "ping 192.168.0.1", then try ping "202.134.165.64"

One other question : on the gentoo box, can you post the output of :
Code:
iptables -t nat -n -L

IS eth1 the external interface ? and is the IP really a public one directly on the ethernet interface ? And static ?

What's your genereal setup ?

Mainly: Whidch Interface is connected to what, what kind of inet link do you have ?

Maybe you could post what the problem was and how you managed to fix it, it could eventualy help people having the same problem as you when using this howto ?

I'm not sure my experience will be of help to anyone... I just fulshed all the rules and started from the beginning and it worked... so maybe I made a typing error or something. All I can say thankfully is that the 'howto' is pretty flawless... thanks for all the help.
