[wellylug] help - strange LAN problem

[David McNab]

Hi,

I got up this morning to find my workstation box hanging on login.

After doing the rescue disk routine, I found what's been happening:

My workstation box connects via 100MB/s ethernet to my
server/firewall/gatesay box, which connects via 10MB/s ethernet to my
jetstart router.

On gateway box, eth0 goes to adsl router, eth1 goes to workstation
On workstation, eth0 goes to gateway.

I've got IPtables set up on the gateway box to route packets between
eth0 and eth1. Has worked perfectly until today.

But now, when I boot up the workstation box, the gateway won't route
packets between eth0 and eth1

But when I do ifdown/ifup eth0 on the workstation box, the gateway box
does its iptables routing perfectly.

I can't think of anything I did yesterday or last night which would be
causing this.

Any ideas?

Cheers
David
