>Hi List.

>I have my home network being masqueraded by linux router(RH8.0).
>Network topology:
>Linux router(192.168.1.1): eth0 to LAN, eth1 to adsl modem.
>LAN = 192.168.1.*
>
>I wrote iptables script that masquerades my network, but the problem is 
>when I run the script from the first time from /etc/rc.d/rc.local it works. 
>But if I then rerun it manualy (by root of couse) it stops working. Inside 
>hosts don't have access to the internet. My script does clear all old rules 
>at the start of it but it doesn't help or else...
>I tryed to clear all old rules manualy and then run the script, no luck 
>still not working. I tryed to unload all iptables modules then "insmod 
>ip_tables" and after that to run the script again, nothing it doesn't help 
>too... Can someone understand what is going on ? Why it works only the 
>first time ? After the second excution the rules are seem to be the same 
>but inside hosts can't ping internet.
>There is 2 LOG targets in the script, first with prefix "FORWARD PACKET" 
>and second with prefix "MASQ RULE MATCHED", after the first excution of the 
>script. I see 2 logs for each packet, first "FORWARD PACKET" and then "MASQ 
>RULE MATCHED" but after the second excution, when the NAT doesn't work the 
>logs doesn't show "MASQ RULE MATCHED"...
