Hello, everybody:

I am experiencing a problem with network routing, I hope some of you can
help me... Let me explain my problem to you:

I have two lan segments: LAN "A" (215.192.10.0/255.255.255.0) and
                         LAN "B" (216.192.10.0/255.255.255.0)

I have three Linux boxes: all of them with Red Hat Linux 5.2,
Kernel 2.0.36.

The box #1 has one ethernet adapter and participates on LAN "A";
The box #2 has TWO ethernet adapters and participates on both LANs: "A" and
"B";
The box #3 has one ethernet adapter and participates on LAN "B";
So, box #2 is the router between LANs "A" and "B".

I have configured (properly ???) all routing tables and firewall policies (see
the outputs below); box #1 can successfully ping box #2 at its LAN "B"
address;
box #3 can successfully ping box #2 at its LAN "A" address but BOX #1 CAN NOT
PING BOX #3 AT ALL.

+------------------------+
| Box #1                 |
| eth0: LAN A            |--+
|       IP 215.192.10.1  |  |
+------------------------+  |
                            | LAN segment "A"
+------------------------+  |
| Box #2                 |  |
| eth0: LAN A            |--+
|       IP 215.192.10.15 |
| eth1: LAN B            |--+
|       IP 216.192.10.15 |  |
+------------------------+  |
                            | LAN segment "B"
+------------------------+  |
| Box #3                 |  |
| eth0: LAN B            |--+
|       IP 216.192.10.1  |
+------------------------+

Am I doing something wrong? I have made EXACTLY this same configuration on
IBM/AIX boxes, and everything worked fine.


Thanks in advance,
Hime
