Nat On Mandrake


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know any websites telling you how to setup NAT on mandrake 8 or 9? i been searching on google for hours i see some but they don't explain it good... some messed up my config and mandrake acting weird after trying them so i had to re-install mandrake :( ...

That's my point. Linux distros are Linux, which NAT is using iptables. The iptables is already include Linux by default. You can use RedHat's guide as long it's not in GUI that they created, so if it's edit the text files by manual then you can follow it. Like, Xandros and other very few Linux distros can be done by GUI, but inside they are still edit the plain text files. Linux distro might move some files to the different place, but hey the configures are still same as long you have the brain.

Anyway, here is a link -> http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOW.../NAT-HOWTO.html

If it makes you feel better, here's another link from Mandrake's website; it's still same thing. -> http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/HOWTO/NAT-HOWTO/

BTW: I am not try to rude, but I need to hit the newbie people about that basic things in Linux distros still are Linux. And, don't get stuck in the GUI too. Most of things are same, unless they add something on their own such as RPM (created by RedHat), YaST (created by SuSE), apt (created by Debian), portage (created by Gentoo Linux), RedHat's gui of firewall (but, it uses iptables by edit the plain text files) and etc.
