lets start with network topology: /\/\/\/\/\ < internet > \/\/\/\/\/ | | --------- | box A | --------- | 192.168.8.1 | 10mbit UTP 192.168.8.0 | 192.168.8.3 --------- | box B | --------- 192.168.9.3 | | 192.168.7.3 10 mbit 192.168.9.0 | | 100mbit UTP 192.168.7.0 192.168.9.4 | | 192.168.7.4 --------- | box C | ---------
My problem is that A can't communicate with C through the 192.168.9.0 network. It works just fine through the 192.168.7.0 network. TCPDUMP shows that the pings arrive at 192.168.9.4 correctly, but it doesn't respond. If I change the default gw on C from 192.168.7.3 to 192.168.9.3 it works. So I think I could get there by telling C it should use 192.168.9.3 as a gateway for the 192.168.9 network. But how. Adding a default gw with another metric doesn't seem to work. information: A: aka huis.huis eth0 inet addr:192.168.8.1 Bcast:192.168.8.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 eth1 inet addr:<internet> Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.192 Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface <internet> 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.192 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.7.0 192.168.8.3 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.9.0 192.168.8.3 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.8.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 <internet> 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 B: eth0 inet addr:192.168.9.3 Bcast:192.168.9.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 eth1 inet addr:192.168.8.3 Bcast:192.168.8.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 eth2 inet addr:192.168.7.3 Bcast:192.168.7.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.7.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 192.168.9.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.8.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 192.168.8.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 C: eth0 inet addr:192.168.7.4 Bcast:192.168.7.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 eth1 inet addr:192.168.9.4 Bcast:192.168.9.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.7.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 172.16.154.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vmnet8 192.168.42.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vmnet1 192.168.9.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 192.168.7.3 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 -- Casper Gielen [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "After you install Windows XP, you have the option to create user accounts.
