Step One: Testing internal MASQ client PC connectivity
From an internal MASQed computer, try pinging its local IP address (i.e.
ping 192.168.0.10 ). This will verify that
TCP/IP is correctly working on the local 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 PC as
described earlier in Chapter 4 of this HOWTO. The
output should look something like the following (hit Control-C to abort the
ping):
------------------------------------
masq-client# ping 192.168.0.10
PING 192.168.0.10 (192.168.0.10): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.0.10: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.8 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.10: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.4 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.10: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.4 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.10: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=0.5 ms
^C
--- 192.168.0.10 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.4/0.5/0.8 ms
