My Current Network I use a combination of One-to-one NAT and Proxy ARP, neither of which are relevant to a simple configuration with a single public IP address. If you have just a single public IP address, most of what you see here won't apply to your setup so beware of copying parts of this configuration and expecting them to work for you. What you copy may or may not work in your configuration. The configuration shown here corresponds to Shorewall version 2.0.1. My configuration uses features not available in earlier Shorewall releases. I have DSL service and have 5 static IP addresses (206.124.146.176-180). My DSL modem (Fujitsu Speedport) is connected to eth0. I have a local network connected to eth2 (subnet 192.168.1.0/24) and a DMZ connected to eth1 (206.124.146.176/32). Note that I configure the same IP address on both eth0 and eth1. In this configuration: I use one-to-one NAT for Ursa (my personal system that dual-boots Mandrake 10.0 (Official) and Windows XP) - Internal address 192.168.1.5 and external address 206.124.146.178. I use one-to-one NAT for EastepLaptop (My work system -- Windows XP SP2). Internal address 192.168.1.7 and external address 206.124.146.180. I use SNAT through 206.124.146.179 for  my SuSE 9.0 Linux system (Wookie), my Wife's Windows XP system (Tarry), and our  Windows XP laptop (Tipper) which connects through the Wireless Access Point (wap) via a Wireless Bridge (wet).While the distance between the WAP and where I usually use the laptop isn't very far (25 feet or so), using a WAC11 (CardBus wireless card) has proved very unsatisfactory (lots of lost connections). By replacing the WAC11 with the WET11 wireless bridge, I have virtually eliminated these problems (Being an old radio tinkerer (K7JPV), I was also able to eliminate the disconnects by hanging a piece of aluminum foil on the family room wall. Needless to say, my wife Tarry rejected that as a permanent solution :-). I have Wookie (193.168.1.3) configured as a 3-port bridge. Squid runs on this system and is configured as a transparent proxy. The firewall runs on a 256MB PII/233 with Debian Sarge (Testing). Wookie and Ursa run Samba and the Wookie acts as a WINS server. The wireless network connects to Wookie's eth2 via a LinkSys WAP11.  In additional to using the rather weak WEP 40-bit encryption (64-bit with the 24-bit preamble), I use MAC verification. This is still a weak combination and if I lived near a wireless hot spot, I would probably add IPSEC or something similar to my WiFi->local connections. The single system in the DMZ (address 206.124.146.177) runs postfix, Courier IMAP (imaps and pop3), DNS, a Web server (Apache) and an FTP server (Pure-ftpd) under Fedora Core 2. The system also runs fetchmail to fetch our email from our old and current ISPs. That server is managed through Proxy ARP. The firewall system itself runs a DHCP server that serves the local network. All administration and publishing is done using ssh/scp. I have a desktop environment installed on the firewall but I am not usually logged in to it. X applications tunnel through SSH to Ursa. The server also has a desktop environment installed and that desktop environment is available via XDMCP from the local zone. For the most part though, X tunneled through SSH is used for server administration and the server runs at run level 3 (multi-user console mode on RedHat). I run an SNMP server on my firewall to serve MRTG running in the DMZ. The ethernet interface in the Server is configured with IP address 206.124.146.177, netmask 255.255.255.0. The server's default gateway is 206.124.146.254 (Router at my ISP. This is the same default gateway used by the firewall itself). On the firewall, an entry in my /etc/network/interfaces file (see below) adds a host route to 206.124.146.177 through eth1 when that interface is brought up. Tarry (192.168.1.4) runs a PPTP server for Road Warrior access.

Although most of our internal systems use one-to-one NAT, my wife's system (192.168.1.4) uses IP Masquerading (actually SNAT) as do my SuSE system (192.168.1.3), our laptop (192.168.3.8) and visitors with laptops. #INTERFACE SUBNET ADDRESS eth0:2 eth2 206.124.146.179 #LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE

The $MIRRORS variable expands to a list of approximately 10 IP addresses.

Bridge (Wookie) Configuration As mentioned above, Wookie acts as a bridge. It's view of the network is diagrammed in the following figure. I've included the files that I used to configure that system -- some of them are SuSE-specific. The configuration on Wookie can be modified to test various bridging features -- otherwise, it serves to isolate the Wireless network from the rest of our systems.

The first rule allows a transparent WWW proxy (Squid) to run on my bridge/firewall. Squid listens on port 3128. The remaining rules protect the local systems and bridge from the WiFi network. Note that we don't restrict WiFi→net traffic since the only directly-accessible system in the net zone is the firewall (Wookie and the Firewall are connected by a cross-over cable). #ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE ORIGINAL # PORT PORT(S) DEST REDIRECT loc 3128 tcp www - !192.168.1.0/24 ACCEPT WiFi loc udp 137:139 ACCEPT WiFi loc tcp 22,80,137,139,445,901,3389 ACCEPT WiFi loc udp 1024: 137 ACCEPT WiFi loc udp 177 ACCEPT loc WiFi udp 137:139 ACCEPT loc WiFi tcp 137,139,445 ACCEPT loc WiFi udp 1024: 137 ACCEPT loc WiFi tcp 6000:6010 ACCEPT WiFi fw tcp ssh,137,139,445 ACCEPT WiFi fw udp 137:139,445 ACCEPT WiFi fw udp 1024: 137 ACCEPT WiFi fw udp ntp #LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES BEFORE THIS ONE -- DO NOT REMOVE
