Hello, I've been trying to get my Linux IP masquerading gateway going, but
I've run into a few problems. Initially, I could not get any connections
with my
ethernet cards, but Linux (Red Hat 5) did detect one of them. I have two
Realtek
NE2000 compatible cards. One is PCI, the other is ISA. After struggling
with them
for awhile, I read in some of the docs that I have that you had to
re-compile the
kernel to enable linux to detect more than one adapter card.
Ok, no prob. I re-compiled the kernel and said yes to all the IP
masquerading
options (might as well compile that in if I'm re-compiling...) and sure
enough on
the next boot, Linux detected *both* cards. However, I can't ping any of
the
computers on the LAN (192.168.0.*) but I can ping the ADSL providers
gateway.
So the card connected to the ADSL line must at least be working, but that's
all
I can do with it is ping the gateway, I cannot ping any other internet
address, and
I can't reach the DNS servers provided by my ISP.
My route table looks something like this:
Dest. Gateway
Interface
206.37.47.0 *
eth0
192.168.0 .0 *
eth1
I'm not at my linux box so I don't know what the rest of the values in the
table
were. The address of the gateway would be 206.37.47.1 (These are not the
exact IP addresses I use, different numbers for privacy, same format).
The interface IP addresses should be
eth0 206.37.47.55 ====> connected to the ADSL modem
eth1 192.168.0.4 ====> connected to the LAN
I'm wondering about the gateway entries in the route table. Shouldn't there
be
a gateway assigned to eth0? When I installed it and oit asked me to
configure
the network I entered the correct gateway in the gateway section, but it
does not
turn up in the route table. I also saw somewhere that you need to provide a
route to the gateway, before you can use that as a gateway for a different
route.
Shouldn't the table route all info other than 192.168.0.* to eth0? The way
it seems
now is that it is only routing 206.37.47.* to eth0. Any help in
explaining/clarifying
this mess would be appreciated. Thanks.
