I am having problems with my Debian/Lenny firewall/routing box. The
internet connection runs really, really slow. It does work - but its
very slow.
My internal lan is 192.168.100.*
My DSL router is 192.168.1.254
My external nic (wireless) is 192.168.1.1
My internal nic is 192.168.100.1
I checked the routing table:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.100.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
wlan0
default 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
wlan0
Ifconfig/iwconfig look OK. However if I run traceroute I get some odd
results:
traceroute to an internal LAN address completes in 1 hop
traceroute to the DSL router 192.168.1.254 from the firewall box fails
after about 30 hops - it should be 1 hop.
Running tracepath on the DSL box gives me:
server:/home/kevinphilp# tracepath 192.168.1.254
1: 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 1.218ms pmtu

On google I get the same
server:/home/kevinphilp# tracepath www.google.com
1: 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 0.950ms pmtu

Any thoughts welcome
