I´d like to configure my linux box to allow POP, IMAP or SMTP traffic. I found a lot of iptables rules and I can now access POP, but with it I can´t surf the web.

I think the firewall must have a rule allowing SQUID, if so, how is that?

thanks for the tips,

Hello,
I could set up my linux box to allow mail and web access. I have one last problem, the default gateway of my network is a windows server 2003, from that machine i can access everything, but from any client on the network i only access web ( through squid).

regards
well you need to edit routes and give the route to 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 to the linux box on your windows gateway

hello,
the clients of my dhcp server ( a ws2003 machine) can´t get the default gateway ip. it only get ip address and netmask, but no default gateway.
when i set up that information manually everything works properly. what to do to clients get the default gateway value?...

regards

add this to your subnet definition

# The Gateway for the local network
option  routers ip.of.your.router;

and maybe you'll need this too:

option domain-name-servers ip.of.your.dns;
