From the clients network (208.53.164.0) I could only reach (ping) the Cisco router but was unable to reach Internet. Yes, the cisco knows that everything going to the net 208.53.164.0 goes through the linux. I did a traceroute from one of the clients to cisco's website ip: 1st hop --> 208.53.164.254 2nd hop --> Time out 3d --> Time out and so on The only quick solution was to connect Switch 1 with Switch 2. Any ideas why this didn't work? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
