I'm trying to keep Windows off the internet and use Fedora as a firewall to Windows internet connectivity. The pc is connected to a router. I have the internet working in Fedora. I need to route Windows through Fedora so it can access the internet.
I connected Fedora to the internet once using pcap-bridge
and then for a couple of days it wouldn't connect with the same setup. I accidentally figured out that whenever the real ethernet device loses connectivity, colinux will not reconnect with it until the bridge is manually restarted. I also connected Windows and Fedora "once" through a TAP connection and I was able to ping
from Fedora to Windows and vice versa, I also connected via ssh
to Fedora from Windows. I've never had both connections working at the same time. I'm using the same setup for the TAP that once worked and no matter what instructions I follow on many of the sites I've been to, I always get "Destination Host Unreachable"
from both Windows and Fedora. I've turned off all firewalls and antivirus' in Windows and I've turned off iptables
in Fedora. The router's firewall is off. Each time I've changed a network configuration, I've restarted colinux.
I tried using eth0, eth1
's IP Address as the gateway in the loopback adapter.
I gave up on the TAP connection and opted to use the Microsoft Loopback Adapter
but I'm having the same problem with it.
I gave the real ethernet device (LAN) [A Bad Ip Address to block Windows from the internet]:
LAN: [This works]
IP Address 1.1.1.1
Netmask 255.0.0.0
LOOPBACK: [The problem]
I've tried 10.0.2.0-254, 10.0.0.0-254, 192.168.10,0,1,2.0-254
IP Address 192.168.2.10
Netmask 255.255.255.0
Colinux:
eth0=pcap-bridge, "LAN"
eth1=ndis-bridge, "LOOPBACK"
