I would like to run ipcop in a VM and have it control all internet access of my host and all other machines on my LAN (only one at the moment).
I have just setup ipcop under vmware-server on Kubuntu Feisty. It seems to install fine. I have setup ipcop with both the red and the green interfaces as bridged so I can also let my laptop connect through ip-cop.
Setup:
internet gateway: 192.168.1.1
ipcop red: 192.168.1.2
ipcop green: 10.3.2.1
host: 10.3.2.100
However I must be doing something wrong, because I can ping the green interface and even my router (through ipcop), but when I try to access the ipcop web interface I can connect, but never get any data. I tried it with wget just to see if I could work out what was going on, but all I get is this:
wget http://10.3.2.1:81/
-- 07:37:28 -- http://10.3.2.1:81/
=> `index.html'
connecting to 10.3.2.1:81... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
and then it just sits there. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here? I have done almost four hours of googling and can't find anything on this subject.
I also looked at the vmwarez ipcop vm, but that seems to sit the wrong way around for what I want to do (i.e., connect my host and other machines on the LAN to the internet via a virtualised ipcop).
