I have mol .56 running with kernel 2.4.3. The dummy interface is
setup as 204.29.183.145/28. molrc entry is netdev: dummy0 -sheep.
The mac IP address is 204.29.183.146/28, default router is set to 145.

There are several other interfaces on the machine including an
outbound ethernet interface to a DSL router on eth1. The outbound
interface has a internet routable address.

The problem is while I can access the linux server with both
tcp/ip and appletalk I cannot get packets to go down the
internet interface. Reading through the mol-general archives
led me to believe that I could fix this with a new glibc, a
recompile of mol and some nat statements. This hasn't worked
out. These are the current applicable iptables statements....

/usr/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i dummy0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j ACCEPT
/usr/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -o dummy0 -d 204.29.183.144/28 -j ACCEPT
/usr/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 204.29.183.144/28 -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE

eth1 is the outside interface. The equivalent of this configuration is
what I use for my inside ethernet and it works perfectly.

I do get this interesting message that others have gotten in
/var/log/messages

Apr 2 00:44:16 linux kernel: IP-filter: 204.29.183.146

Two questions:
What am I doing wrong.
Does anyone have mol networking working on 2.4.3?

Thanks,
Bob
