And, please let me know if ya need more infor. Remember that private internets are not routed! # The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the # following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets: # # 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix) # 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix) # 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix) What this means is that there should never be a published route between net 192.168.2.xx and your 192.168.1.xx net (or any other private internet). Host routes and gateway hosts may solve the problem. Check the man page for route I see some examples at this URL that look close http://www.cpqlinux.com/routes.html Note the gw (gateway) Adding and Removing a Network in Linux route add -net 10.10.10.0/24 gw 192.168.0.1 route del -net 10.10.10.0/24 gw 192.168.0.1 Adding and Removing a specific host in Linux route add -host 10.10.10.45 gw 192.168.0.1 route del -host 10.10.10.45 gw 192.168.0.1 See /etc/sysconfig/static-routes This URL may have hints... http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/usersguide/linux_ugrouting.html Note that the DHCP server must communicate the correct routes if DHCP is used. Both directions need routes and in some cases routing more than one private network is impossible. Some tricks like FIREWALL_IP translation might help. http://projectfiles.com/firewall/isp.htm See also bridging and proxy arp.... See /etc/gateways if a dynamic routed is active. The key is that private nets are not routed and very special actions are needed to get to and from the Internet from the second private net. "private <--> public" is common and easy "private <--> private <--> public" is trouble. I also note that you have IPV6 networking active -- you might wish to turn that off and simplify your task. Eventually IPV6 will simplify this stuff. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.
