Dear PPP/Network gurus, I have a P90 running a recently installed Red Hat 5.0 with kernel 2.0.32 and all gateway options but no firewall options built in. pppd 2.2_0 runs very nicely as "pppd defaultroute /dev/modem" to my ISP. My P90 sees my ISP's DNS, sends and receives mail, http, etc. No problem The problems is with the 255.255.255.248-masked network behind the P90. No packets from my Solaris2.5 or Win95 machines get passed the P90. Win95 tracert shows packets stopping at the P90. The P90 routing is "netstat -rn": Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 199.0.65.36 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 1500 0 0 ppp0 209.61.44.240 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 1500 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 3584 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 199.0.65.36 0.0.0.0 UG 1500 0 0 ppp0 The P90 IP# is used as the gateway for the other machines. The 255.255.255.248 netmask is also used on the other machines. The Solaris 2.5 was given "route add default 209.41.66.241 1" to set its routing. The netcfg radiobutton is set for Network Packet IPv4 forwarding. I have invested about a week full time on this. My "free" software is getting really expensive. But it is not too late to back out and go with an older or newer Red Hat with this problem fixed, or even another Linux distribution. Except that I feel like I've tried everything, I can't actually prove that it is a distribution problem. Any ideas? While many people have had routing problems, it seems that this problem is unrelated to any other reported on this mailing list.
