I am still trying to support 2 internet connections for my linux network. I was told that BGP works only with a complete class C, and I only have 32 ips per internet connection from 2 different ISP's, so I cannot use BGP. I was told that ISPF could help but my ISP's have not responded to my requests concerning it. I am looking for a solution that does not require ISP assistance. So I have the problem solved with packets from the net going to an ethernet port and being returned on the same port, using iproute2, but it only works when the packets come from the internet, and not when the packets come from my lan. Also i made a gateway to connect my internal lan and my 2 net connections, but it only works when all 3 networks are plugged into the same hub. if the internal lan is on its own hub, packets do not make it past the gateway, which I just upgraded from kernel 2.2.13 to 2.3.99 so I can ping the gateway from any machine, but not through the gateway. I want my internal lan machines to be reachable to my web servers, but be on a separate network for bandwidth / collision reasons. they do not have to be internet routable, but they have to be routable from my www servers, which are routable via the net. what tools should I be running on the gateway? I have ip_forward turned on, tried ipchains, etc. tcpdump does not show packets going through or even arriving at the gateway. the www servers do have routes for the gateway, and my gateway is pingable on its internal lan address even though it is plugged into an internal hub. I am having trouble finding how-to's that discuss the simple matter of a gateway. I do not need a firewall right now or proxy, etc, and my immediate need is to just get packets through. any help? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
