pointydriphello, I am try to do port forwarding using guidedog from eth0 to eth1 to share an internet connection, how to find out what the local ip address for eth0 and eth1 are?21:24
holsteinpointydrip: ifconfig in a terminal give you waht you are looking for?21:25
pointydripholstein: yes! there are a few choices, but I can narrow it down from there...you're a pro!21:28
holsteinpointydrip: well.. i am what i am! not sure if pro covers it, but enjoy!21:29
pointydripwell, it's people like you that keep me on ubuntu...other wise I would have ran away from linux screaming and yelling long ago21:31
pointydripholstein: when I apply the rules in guidedog I get the following output: "The "nat" table is not intended for filtering, the use of DROP is therefore inhibited."21:35
pointydripholstein: does that mean its not working?21:35
holsteinpointydrip: thats the way i read it... what are you trying to do? i have not heard of guidedog21:36
* holstein gotta run.. bbl21:38
pointydripguidedog is in the software center, it's an interface for manipulating iptables...which I need because I always end up doing serious damage when I mess with iptables...I've had to reformat a few times21:38
pointydripwhen I apply the forwarding rules it says the 'drop inhibited' message twice and then this: "Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.21:39
pointydripEnabling routing.21:39
pointydripLoading kernel modules.21:39
pointydripInserting masquerade rules.21:39
pointydripFinished."21:39
Unit193It may not be quite the same, but ufw/gufw are other options.21:40
pointydripI'll try that21:40
Unit193Take a look first and see if it does what you want.21:41
pointydripit appears to do the same thing, ufw gives the option to specify inbound or outbound for a forwarding rule, this was not there for guide dog so I would assume it was applying in/out for all rules?21:50
Unit193Never used that one, so it'd just be a guess of yes.21:50
Unit193You could list them from iptables directly though.21:51
