(Sorry if this comes over twice, had some mail addess problems)
I just loaded suse on a laptop with a PCMCIA ethernet card (eth0)
(thinker.kramer.ne.mediaone.net 192.168.1.4). It is connected behind my
RHL5.2 firewall (kramer.ne.mediaone.net internal NIC:192.168.1.1). I
can't seem to see the outside world from thinker (it says somethjing
like "no route to host" when I ping), unless I type "route add
default gw 192.168.1.1" on my laptop. Then everything works.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the equivalent of this command into
my
/etc/route.conf. What I have now looks right to me and appears to match
the book, but it doesn't work. My /etc/route.conf/ looks like this:
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 lo
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth0
default 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 eth0
Before I type "route add default gw 192.168.1.1" route outputs
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface default kramer.ne.media 255.255.255.255 UGH 0
0 0 eth0
thinker.kramer. * 255.255.255.255 UH 1 0 0
dummy0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0
lo
After I type "route add default gw 192.168.1.1" route outputs
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface default kramer.ne.media 255.255.255.255 UGH 0
0 0 eth0
thinker.kramer. * 255.255.255.255 UH 1 0 0
dummy0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0
lo
default kramer.ne.media 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
eth0
I also tried changing the last line of route.conf to
default 192.168.1.1
and that didn't work either.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
