It's not a problem with a route on the workstation. We run a wide area network, our networks are 10.100.100.0/24 - 10.100.110.0/24 and also 208.193.230.0/24. The workstations know naturally not to route anything in thier local subnet, but since I have given everyone a router address of my Bering box the Bering box tries to ping the hosts and in the case of 208.193.230.0/24 becuase that is a real IP range and not exclusively for internal use it actually tries to go out and ping it. I need to be able to tell the Bering box where to route the traffic correctly or by telling it that it's a local subnet and it should ignore any requests to it so that the machine will hit the correct router (which I don't have to include in the machine's router address because the other router is on the local network). Hope I explained it better this time.

This is very hard to follow. What, for example, can "I gave everyone a router of dress of this" possibly mean? In any case, a router will "try to route" only packets that are sent to it in the first place. If 10.100.100.0 through 10.100.110.0 and 208.193.230.0 (I assume you mean us to read them as /24 networks) are all LAN addresses, the hosts that use them should know this at not try to use the default gateway (I presume that's what the Bering host is). Someone here can probably help you, but you need to provide a more coherent description of the problem. The SR FAQ (referenced below) should help you do this. Reading over the ping FAQ on the LEAF Website will help you amplify "can't ping" in useful ways. Also please be clearer as to what you mean by "I need to find a way to tell my Bering box that these subnets are local and not to try and route them". Do you mean you want it to refuse to route outgoing connections from these networks? Or are they on separate interfaces, and you wan the Bering router to route among these networks locally? Or is the issue with NAT (since the networks are a mix or private and public addresses)? My first guess would be that you have a routing problem in the LAN workstations, not in the Bering router. My second would be that you are trying to ping to the Internet from a non-routable address and have not set up the Bering router to NAT it. But even these are shots in the dark until you describe the setup better. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: eBay Get office equipment for less on eBay! http://adfarm.mediaplex.com/ad/ck/711-11697-6916-5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: eBay Get office equipment for less on eBay! http://adfarm.mediaplex.com/ad/ck/711-11697-6916-5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
