Gday,
Well I am almost up and functional on our local Community wireless (www.darwinwireless.com) network. Looking forward to 11mpbs transfers across the suburbs. :)
I am just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I might setup IPTABLES/Routing to be able to perform the following functions:
1. I have machines on my Internal network (LAN) that I want to be able to communicate with the WAN... I have setup standard MASQ on the WAN Interface and can communicate no worries using direct IPs etc... but ideally what I want to do is have the WAN computer's Windows Networking names come up in Network Neighbourhood of my LAN machines.... I have tried using DNAT to forward the broadcasts, but that does not seem to work.
The WAN is using an A class subnet (10.0.0.0/8). My LAN is using the standard C class 192.168.x.x/24 addresses, so not sure if this affects things?
I am thinking that if I forward at least the 10.255.255.255.137 (or 138, I forget) to 192.168.1.255.137 that people would pickup the addresses?
Another solution I was thinking of running was using Winbind to maintain a listing of the hosts and just do it through WINS.
2. The other thing is like all people who get their hands on a broadband capable connection, one of the first things you want to do is play games... even if it is to see how much lag there is compared to your dial up connection... well that's me anyways. :)
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how they might setup the LAN workstations to be able to game through the WAN and vica-versa... My thoughts were to have a dedicated games server with an internal address that is DNAT'd from the Firewall box?
I could also just have a simple forward as I have a spare 10.0.0.0 IP address that I can give my Internal games server so it can communicate with the outside world... then again I would have to stuff around with my routes as my routes are saying 10.0.0.0/8 is to go out on my WANIF... like it should.
It's all excitement here! hehe
Any help or suggestions would be apprechiated.
