All, Sorry about the previous post with the subject "RE: PLUG-discuss digest, Vol 1 #3397 - 11 msgs" That subject should have been "Re: My Router Isn't". One of these days I've got to slow down!!! Sorry. George, Issuing the cat command (cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward) from the command line returns "0". I don't think this is good! What should it be, and how do I get it there? Thanks, George -----Original Message----- --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2003 19:44:08 -0500 From: George Toft To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Subject: Re: My Router Isn't Reply-To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us George Gambill wrote: > = > Trying to set up a router (RH8) between a 192.168.100.0/255.255.255.0 s= ubnet > and a 10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0 subnet. > = > Hosts involved are > = > winslow 192.168.100,253 > = > gwg 192.168.100.252 (eth0) > gwg 10.1.1.68 (eth1) > = > nowhere 10.1.1.66 > = > >From winslow (aka 192.168.100.253) I can ping: > gwg (aka itself) > 192.168.100.252 (aka GWG eth0) > 10.1.1.68 (aka GWG eth1) > = > but not: > nowhere (aka 10.1.1.66) > 10.1.1.66 (aka nowhere) > = > >From GWG (the router) I can ping: > winslow (aka 192.168.100.253) > 192.168.100.253 (aka winslow eth0) > = > gwg (aka itself) > 192.168.100.252 (aka itself eth0) > 10.1.1.68 (aka itself eth1) > = > nowhere (aka 10.1.1.66) > 10.1.1.66 (aka nowhere) > = > from nowhere (aka 10.1.1.66) I can ping: > = > gwg > 10.1.1.68 > 192.168.100.252 > = > but not: > winslow > 192.168.100.253 > = > Using Webmin on the router (gwg) and looking at the firewall, it shows = under > "packet filtering": > "FORWARD" default "Accept" with no other rules > "INPUT" default "Accept" with no other rules > "OUTPUT" default "Accept" with no other rules > = > Any ideas why I can't ping nowhere (10.1.1.66) from winslow > (192.168.100.253)? > = > George > --------------------------------------------------- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: > http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss Hi George, What is the status of IP Forwarding on the router (gwg)? cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward George -- = Discover . . . | Free Computer Security Information <=B7=B7=B7> Secure | http://www.georgetoft.com/security Networking | = @http://georgetoft.com | Lock your box - keep your affairs private!
