Doesn't he need to set up IP Chains with MASQ enabled as well? It's been a long time since I put my NAT box together, it's been maintenance-free so long, I forgot how to set it up! : ) I just retired it for a D-Link DI-701 that you can get at Fry's for $99, it's a nifty little NAT box and it can be administered through winblows or Linux... ----Original Message Follows---- From: Kevin Brown Reply-To: plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us To: plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us Subject: Re: Newbie Networking Linux Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2000 08:35:35 -0700 If you are using a NetMask of 255.255.255.0 for your internal address space then 192.168.1.1, 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.3.1 are not on the same network. Try either changing the netmask to 255.255.0.0 or change your ip's (192.168.2.1 -> 192.168.1.2, 192.168.3.1 -> 192.168.1.3), that will put them on the same network. For those boxes the default gateway should be 192.168.1.1 (the internal ip of your linux box). > I have two nic(s) installed in the SuSE linux box and have set them as: > eth0 with my DSL line's IP address, and > eth1 with an IP address of 192.168.1.1 > > I have set the nic's address on the other computer (OS is WIN98) as > 192.168.2.1 > The third computer will be 192.168.3.1 (it will be a linux/win box). > > I've played with these setting every which way but the right way because I > still don't get a connection. > > What do I need to put in the route.conf file to get this network up? > Right now I have the following and its not working: > > #destination Dummy/gateway > Netmask Device > XXX.186.215.21 XXX.186.215.1 255.255.255.255 eth0 > 192.168.1.1 > 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 > eth1 > default XXX.186.215.1 > > When I run "ifconfig" the out put looks ok. > > Thanks, > Fred > > > > ________________________________________________ See http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us/navigator-mail.shtml if your mail doesn't post to the list quickly and you use Netscape to write mail.
