Hi, I don't think box3 would be able to box1 or box2 currently. This is because the IP address you've assigned to box3 is not on the same subnet as that of box1 & box2. Box1 and box2 are right now on subnet 192.168.0.0. Where as box3 is is not subnet 192.168.1.0. To connect PCs on different subnets you need to have a router in between.
The options you have: 1) Make the IP addresses of all three boxes on the same subnet by changing box3's IP to 192.168.0.*, OR box1 & box2's IP to 192.168.1.* 2) Make subnet larget by making subnet mask = 255.255.0.0 or some thing. -Rajat -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nicolas Patik Sent: Friday, December 24, 2004 9:30 AM To: linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org Subject: how to route I have 2 linux boxes connected to a switch: box1: eth0 192.168.0.200/255.255.255.0 eth1 public address from ISP dhcp box2: eth0 192.168.0.35/255.255.255.0 box3: eth0 192.168.1.3/255.255.255.0 I want box1 to act as a gateway to the internet (it is doing this now for box2), but also want to communicate from box2 to box3 through box1, and that box3 can use the internet through box1. how can I do this?
