here is the scenario.
subnet 1 192.168.1.x contains a gateway 192.168.1.1 (with dual network interface) connected to the internet and a number of clients
subnet 2 192.168.0.x contains a gateway 192.168.0.1 (with dual network interface) connected to the internet and a number of clients
a friend and myself were trying to connect these two subnets.
we got a new machine (a laptop running woody) with dual network interfaces
eth0: (subnet 1) 192.168.1.125 eth1: (subnet 2) 192.168.0.125
we enabled ip forwarding on the laptop. (set a file /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to 1)
for the purpose of testing, we had two clients, one each on the two subnets.
test client in subnet 1 route 192.168.0.x requests to 192.168.1.125
test client in subnet 2 route 192.168.1.x requests to 192.168.0.125
having done this, we were still not able to communicate between the
test clients. both test clients can ping their respective interfaces on
the laptop and even the interface in the other subnet. but they cannot
communicate with each other. what are we doing wrong or what more do we
have to do?
thanks
What does your routing table look like? 'route -n'
