So you should do a ipchains command in order for you to masquerade between 100.18.6.0 and 100.18.1.0
this 2 network cannot communicate each other if you dont do masquerade. 1. when you online to the internet, means you send packet to outside world, maybe your router do route back the acknoledge packet, but your linux box isnt know that packet is for who, so it dont work. 2.you have to type in the command: ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 100.18.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 anyway......if dont work....tell me exactly the network topology is.... or draw it nicely and send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] i can help you on that. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
