Hello, I am trying to set up a LAN in the following way: I have a linux box (RedHat 6.0, 2.2.9 kernel) with two ethernet cards. eth0 is connected to a cable modem and obtains its IP address through DHCP. eth1 is connected to a 4-port ethernet hub, along with a Mac and a Windows 98 PC. Eventually I would like to be able to run IP masquerade on the linux box. I haven't gotten to that point, though, because I can't get the linux machine to talk to the other two computers on the LAN (although they can talk to one another). I assigned the following IP addresses: Linux machine (eth1): 192.168.100.101 Win 98 machine: 192.168.100.84 Mac: 192.168.100.102 When I do "ping 192.168.100.84" from the linux machine there is no response. Likewise, "ping 192.168.100.101" from the Win 98 PC doesn't work. However, doing "ping 192.168.100.84" from the Win 98 computer works perfectly. So, it seems to me that the linux machine is not figuring out that packets intended for the 192.168.100.* network should be sent through eth1, or that eth1 should respond to packets addressed to 192.168.100.101. I know that there is nothing wrong with the eth1 network card because I use it in Windows 98 (I have a dual-boot configuration) with the same LAN. Also, eth0 seems to be working perfectly and I can access the internet in either linux or Win 98. And the output of "ifconfig" looks normal. netstat -rn gives the following output: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.100.101 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.100.0 192.168.100.101 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.100.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 109.5.102.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 109.5.102.66 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 I'd appreciate it if someone could let me know what I might be doing wrong--I think some of the above routes might be extraneous but I am unsure as to how to change them.
