Machine 1: FreeBSD 4.9 Machine 2: RH9 (with mtnl dialup) Machine 3: FC3
All 3 are also connected via a Netgear MR814v2 (router/firewall) <---> Dlink DSL Router provided by TataIndicom. Machine 2 is connected to MTNL ALSO.
Problem: Port Forwarding(80) in our netgear router to FreeBSD and RH9 fails whereas same works for the FC3 machine. Firewall rules on FC3 and RH9 are the same. By fail i mean, the setting takes place but when trying to connect, it fails.
When trying to connect directly to the RH9 machine via the MTNL dynamic IP, it works fine. both SSH and HTTP. SSH (port 22) also fails similarly for RH9 and FreeBSD but works fine with the FC3 machine. As remote management is ON, we can connect to the router from outside.
There is an option to make a server the DMZ server. Even when the RH9 and FREEBSD machines are made the default DMZ, it does not accept connections.
Any clues? Seems a bit bizarre frankly. But then again, most things seemingly are.
thanks abhi

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- SOLUTION: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Routing Table in FC3 was default with gateway at 192.168.0.1 in RH9 was the mtnl dynamic IP FreeBSD was going through the RH9 machine.
Changed routing table settings on both RH9 and FreeBSD to 192.168.0.1 and it works! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
