I've seen this discussed previously, can't find the solution though. The external connection works fine, I can't access the local network from my gateway box though.
The routing table looks like this: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface xx.xx.xxx.x 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.128 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 65.14.207.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 /etc/network/interfaces (parenthethical material omitted) iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static hostname cxxxxxxx-x address xx.xx.xxx.xx netmask 255.255.255.128 network 65.14.207.0 broadcast 65.14.207.127 gateway 65.14.207.1 iface eth1 inet static hostname mammyyokum address 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 network192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 up /sbin/ifconfig eth1 promisc /etc/resolv.conf is: search hmpt1.va.home.com nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.3 mammyyokum.siliconhollow.org mammyyokum 192.168.1.4 pappyyokum.siliconhollow.org pappyyokum 492.168.1.5 crunchwolf.siliconhollow.org crunchwolf /etc/networks localnet 65.14.207.0 i can ping mammyyokum, both by name and by ip; i can ping localhost, i cannot ping either pappyyokum or crunchwolf by name or number. any help would be appreciated. thanks bob underwood
