Re: NAT trouble

Francisco,

Thank you!

Now it's "obvious in retrospect" ... I didn't have my gateway set to the
internal address of the NAT box on my laptop. That just fixed it.

Sort of reminds me of stat mech ... "It is intuitively obvious to the most
casual observer that ... an n-th dimensional integral sums to an n-th
dimensional sphere."

I sort of like the language for formatting disks to describe this ...

"Make sure you set your client workstation gateway to your NAT server's
internal address or you will lose ...."

Thanks again! I learned something ... this list is great!

2 things i didnt see mentioned:

1- the nat machine can reach the outside world?
2- the laptop has the nat machine's internal ip as its gateway?

beyond that, maybe there's a logic error in your rules (the parts that we
don't get to see).

good luck,
