need to get something on my firewall machine that is between my lan and my flatmates.

3 active nics in it now, one to the adsl router, one to my PC's, one to my flatmates lan.

Its the default gateway for my lan, and is natting everything to the adsl router as that is the degault gateway.

I need it to just route between my network and the flatmates, a static route willbe made on his machines to my machine

eth0 - my internal lan
192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

eth2 - my adsl router
10.20.0.10 255.255.255.0
gateway is 10.20.0.1 (my adsl router)

eth3 - on flatmates lan
10.30.0.10 - 255.255.255.0

no gateway or all my traffic goes on his internet.

I have a file from iptables-save that I pipe to iptables-resore

Im assuming that I need to change the line in bold to something else or put something ahead of it to say not to nat stuff to the 10.30.0.0/24 range, but am not sure what exactly.

-A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d ! 10.20.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE -o eth2
-A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth3 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 10.20.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT

I'm far from an expert but does this work? (Replacing the line in bold)

How did you go with this? I'm not much of a fan of iptables-save/restore. Prefer to see rules through iptables -L and setting them up in scripts.

One thing to make sure is you have enabled ip_forwarding otherwise traffic from one lan, destined for another will not be forwarded regardless of rules.

I've made a very basic quick firewall script you may be able to use if you want. Completely untested so your mileage may vary :)

Also if your linux box is the default gateway for all machines on either network, then there is no need for static routes :) as each pc will send data to the linux box as the default gateway which then will forward to the correct network.

I finally got around to trying that, it failes on line 63 which is

-A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth3 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 10.20.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT

Seems to be happy with this lot however and it seems to do what I want, havent checked that there is no internet access from the flatmates side yet.

-A PREROUTING -s 10.30.0.1/24 -d ! 192.168.1.0/24 -j DROP
-A POSTROUTING -s 10.30.0.1/24 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j ACCEPT
-A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.1/24 -d 10.30.0.1/24 -j ACCEPT
-A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d ! 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
