Traceroute from the 192.168.236.80 box back to the > fedora address. It doesn't make sense that it can return packets without a > route going through the Centos box. Yes it does make sense, if the machine in the 192.168.236.0/24 has the centos box in the middle (the one with two LAN cards) as a default route, then you wouldn't need a seperate route. Packets would come back. Can you give the network settings for 192.168.236.80 ? Can you tell us more about the network setup ? routers in both networks ? Maybe a quick drawing should make things more clear. If you cannot set a route on the various devices it might help to use proxy-arp. regards, Michel _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
