5.3. Testing internal MASQ client to MASQ server connectivity

• Step Two: Testing internal MASQ client to MASQ server connectivity

  Next, from the same internal MASQed computer, try pinging the the IP address of the Linux MASQ server's INTERNAL interface (i.e. ping 192.168.0.1 ). This will verify that TCP/IP is correctly working on both the local and Linux MASQ machine. Almost ALL modern operating systems have built-in support for the "ping" command. If this ping doesn't work, make sure that TCP/IP is correctly configured on the MASQed Server as described by the various Network HOWTOs (URLs can be found in the requirements section for your 2.4.x kernel in Section 2.6, 2.2.x kernel in Section 2.7, or 2.0.x kernel in Section 2.8). Also be sure that the cabling is correct (Ethernet: the NICs connecting the internal MASQ PC and the MASQ server have the "link" light lit up). The output should look something like the following (hit Control-C to abort the ping):

  ------------------------------------ masq-client# ping 192.168.0.1 PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.8 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.4 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.4 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=0.5 ms ^C --- 192.168.0.1 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.4/0.5/0.8 ms ------------------------------------
