Yes. To both being 255.255.255.0. Your routing tables looks correct. All of the machines that act as routers set their default routes to the router on the other side of a directly connected subnet. The machines in the 192.168.1 network should all show their default gateways as 192.168.1.10 (in your setup). They send a request to anything other than 192.168.1 to the redhat box at 192.168.1.10. Lets say the ip address you are sending to is 24.65.32.12. The request would be sent to the gw 192.168.1.10 since it is not on the local net. The redhat box has the smoothwall as its default gateway so if the request from the 192.168.1 machine going to 24.65.32.12 would be passed to the gateway for the redhat box (192.168.0.1). That box has the ISP DSL/Cable modem/modem or whatever as its gw. So it would send the packets for 24.65.32.12 on to it. The chain keeps working that way until it gets to a router on the ISP that has specific routes to the network 24.65.32.12 are on. On the return path the ISP is sending the packets to the smoothwall box which is masquerading. It knows to route the response back to the machine on the 192.168.1 network because of the static route you added that sends packets destined for that subnet to the RH box 192.168.0.10. The RH box is directly connected to the 192.168.1 subnet to it can send the packets directly back to the requesting machine. I hope this helps you in the future if I described it well enough.
That is why the redhat routing table shouldn't have any other internet addresses on it. Now for fixing the problem. You say the redhat box can't surf nor ping an address on the net? Sounds like the smoothwall is not passing traffic through. Check the configuration to make sure it is configured properly to allow traffic out. Also make sure you can ping Internet addresses via name and ip from the smoothwall box itself. Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc.

So, the network mask on ALL machines on both networks should be 255.255.255.0? Is that correct?
