Routing may not be compiled into the kernel in redhat 5.2, I had some
problems getting it to work as well.
*****************************
Tim fletcher suggested:
Is /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward set to 1, (use cat to read it) if not
use:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
*****************************
The above only works of the kernel is compiled with IP_forwarding turned
on...

Subject: linux newbie attempts routing on redhat 5.2
...and fails.
I have the following configured:
Two 3Com 3c595 cards (both are using irq 9 -- is that ok ?; ifconfig sees
them, so I'm assuming it's ok).
Details:
Trying to set up the box as a router for two subnets:
eth0 10.0.0.254
eth1 192.168.200.254
They seem to come up fine; 10.0.0.254 can ping everyone on it's subnet.
However, 192.168.200.254 can ping only itself. When I traceroute to others
on the 192.168.200.0 subnet, traceroute tells me that since it found
multiple NICs,
it is using eth0 @ 10.0.0.254, even though the routing table looks like
this:
ip_address gw flags ? use If
127.0.0.1 * U blah blah lo
10.0.0.0 * U blah blah eth0
192.168.200.0 * U blah blah eth1
default * U blah blah eth1
routed is started.
What am i missing here ?
