    Hi

    I am seeking your advice on the setup of: Lintrack As A LAN Gateway And An OpenVPN Bridge which posted at http://www.howtoforge.com/lintrack_lan_gateway_openvpn_bridge.

    I have failed to setup as per the procedures given.
    I have setup two x86 PC hosts, with at 512MB of RAM and 9GB of storage space, two ethernet cards and did not install WiFi card.
    I installed only the Lintrack-mini-2.0 on both hosts.Hosts rt1 and rt2 are our routers running Lintrack. Both of them have Internet connection, (rt1 via SDSL and rt2 via SDSL modems), a public IP address available on eth0 interface and a Local Area Network behind as follow:

    Host Via Addr Type IP Address Gateway IP
    rt1 SDSL modem Public 203..xxx.xxx.171/28 203.xxx.xxx.161
    rt2 ADSL modem NAT 192.168.yyy.yyy/24 192.168.yyy.1

    Host Local Address
    rt1 192.168.1.1
    rt2 192.168.1.2

    NB: Not wireless was setup.

    I have formatted the drive on both system and installed as fresh.

    Below shown the rt1 configuration:
    fcc
    cd sys
    set hostname rt1.lan
    set hostip 192.168.1.1

    Configure eth0 interface:
    cd / net if eth
    add +if eth0
    cd eth0
    set descr "Internet uplink"
    add ip +addr main
    set ip main addr 230.xxx.xxx.171/28

    The LAN bridge:
    cd ..
    add +if eth1
    cd .. br
    add +if br0
    cd br0
    set descr "LAN bridge"
    add +if eth1
    add ip +addr main
    set ip main addr 192.168.1.1/24

    Default route and DNS server:
    cd / net
    set route quickgw 203.xxx.xxx.161
    add dns +servers 192.169.34.181

    The firewall with two zones - "internet":
    cd fw
    add +zone internet
    cd internet
    add +matches uplink
    set uplink if eth0
    set srv forwarding to
    set actions masq true

    ...and "lan":
    cd ..
    add +zone lan
    cd lan
    add +matches bridge
    set bridge if br0
    cd srv
    set forwarding on igmp true dhcp true dns true
    cd .. actions
    set clampmss true

    Finally - we enable dnsmasq as DNS cache and DHCP server:
    cd / srv dnsmasq
    set boot true
    set dhcp true auth true from 192.168.1.50 to 192.168.1.150

    Below shown the rt2 configuration:
    fcc
    cd sys
    set hostname rt1.lan
    set hostip 192.168.1.1

    Configure eth0 interface:
    cd / net if eth
    add +if eth0
    cd eth0
    set descr "Internet uplink"
    add ip +addr main
    set ip main addr 230.xxx.xxx.171/28

    The LAN bridge:
    cd ..
    add +if eth1
    cd .. br
    add +if br0
    cd br0
    set descr "LAN bridge"
    add +if eth1
    add ip +addr main
    set ip main addr 192.168.1.1/24

    Default route and DNS server:
    cd / net
    set route quickgw 192.168.yyy.1
    add dns +servers 203.120.90.40

    The firewall with two zones - "internet":
    cd fw
    add +zone internet
    cd internet
    add +matches uplink
    set uplink if eth0
    set srv forwarding to
    set actions masq true

    ...and "lan":
    cd ..
    add +zone lan
    cd lan
    add +matches bridge
    set bridge if br0
    cd srv
    set forwarding on igmp true dhcp true dns true
    cd .. actions
    set clampmss true

    Finally - we enable dnsmasq as DNS cache and DHCP server:
    cd / srv dnsmasq
    set boot true
    set dhcp true auth true from 192.168.1.151 to 192.168.1.250


    I have manually enable basic networking as per your procedures:
    cd /etc/rc.d
    ./rc.firewall restart
    ./rc.eth eth0 start
    ./rc.eth eth1 start
    ./rc.br br0 start
    ./rcS.d/S40staticrt

    As mentioned:
    This should give you access to both machines from Internet and wired LAN.

    I failed to accesss to both machines from the internet and wired LAN.

    Pls advice.

    Thank You
