You should only have one default gateway that "points" to the internet.
Yes, I was trying to achieve that. I use XFCE and the network manager
applet seems 'not' to let me edit the eth0 connection so that the IF
detail is, for example:
192.168.0.66
255.255.255.0
<blank for gateway>
Instead, the applet doesn't let me 'apply' the settings unless the
gateway field is filled in.
Then, if the gateway field is filled in, the netbook treats the eth0
gateway address as the default route, instead of using the wlan0
gateway entry as the default route.
I think I understand what I need to achieve, I'm just having
difficulty using the setup utilities.
You can use the route command at the cli to see your routes there.
Removing the default gateway on the eth0 device will probably solve you
problem based on what you said.
$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref
Use Iface
192.168.13.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 2 0
0 wlan0
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0
0 eth0
default 192.168.0.190 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0
0 eth0
As I mentioned, I don't seem to be able to remove the gateway entry
from eth0.
At one time, I used to use firestarter which allowed me to explicitly
assign the 'internet' port, and the port for 'local network' access.
In system-config-firewall I don't seem to be able to do that; I had
set 'masquerade' thinking that might cause the same effect, but
obviously not.
I'm going to search the internet for how to do this at cli level - I
will post back.
Thanks again for the help.
regards, Ron
