You aren't very clear and you picked horrible network numbers. From what I can see, neither of the PC's is actually in either of your networks. With a netmask of /24, all pcs in network A would need addresses that start with 10.10.1 and network B would need 10.20.1. Plus, gateways for any subnet need to be in the same subnet of the PC's they are routing for. > > now I need to get a pc in subnet 10.10.1.0 / 24, communicate with a pc > in subnet 10.20.1.0/24, How do I achieve that ? thru a routing table > right ? Without a router with an interface (physical or virtual) on each network, two devices can't talk to each other. That's the bottom line. You can only talk directly to a device on your own network, if a device is not on your network, then you have to talk to a gateway (router) that is on your own network. > > what do I need to fill in my route table in system-config-network ? So, if you have two PCs that are on the same ethernet segment, but with different IP networks, then you either have to have a router on that ethernet segment, or plumb multiple IP addresses on each PC so they are on the same networks. Hopefully that makes sense. If you need more help, just send more information. > > Thanks for replying > > hicham > -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
