OK, I give up. I thought I understood routing but I guess I don't. I am still trying to set up a T1 firewall here at work. I am using Storm Linux (for the first time). The following is the output from both ifconfig and route -n: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:B7:BF:AA:60 inet addr:192.168.1.204 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5598 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:59 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:10 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:B7:BF:A6:C4 inet addr:63.88.193.147 Bcast:63.88.193.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:191 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:885 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:152 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:9 Base address:0x2000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:824 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:824 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 63.88.193.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 63.88.193.129 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 Currently eth0 is for the internal network, thus the 192.168.1.204 IP address. The second NIC, eth1, goes to the T1 line which the router has a gateway IP address of 63.88.193.129. Since we have like 40 IPs I have selected the internal IP for eth1 to be 63.88.193.147. I can ping any of the internal computers, but when I try to ping the gateway or the outside world I get nothing back. What is my problem?
