I'm trying to get an internal network working so that I can set up IP masquerading for a few Windows boxen (side question: anyone know what IPs to block to prevent @home from probing for home networks?).
I've decided to use IP aliasing after struggling with my secondary NIC (an eepro). My main NIC is a 3c905, which is working great for the external network (using dhcpcd to get network info). I've added every network option to the kernel that seemed like it could help and yet nothing seems to help -- I can't ping any of the Windows clients from the Linux server nor vice-versa. Here's the output of /sbin/ifconfig -a: cc492523-a:/usr/doc/alsa-base$ /sbin/ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:4B:79:B5:4A inet addr:24.3.147.215 Bcast:24.3.147.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:32157 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:22053 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:521 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:5 Base address:0xe000 eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:4B:79:B5:4A inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:5 Base address:0xe000 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:75 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:75 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 And route -n: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 24.3.147.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 24.3.147.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 If anyone is able to help me out I'd appreciate it immensely.
