I would suggest using a different network for the gre tunnel, like: Linux A ip tunnel add netb mode gre remote 205.198.x.1 local 203.189.x.1 ttl 255 ip link set netb up ip addr add 192.168.3.1/30 dev netb ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev netb via 192.168.3.2 Linux B ip tunnel add neta mode gre remote 203.189.x.1 local 205.198.x.1 ttl 255 ip link set neta up ip addr add 192.168.3.2/30 dev neta ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev neta via 192.168.3.1 Otherwise, it's just wierd. Not that that's bad, it just sometimes doesn't work... -Joe > -----Original Message----- > From: lartc-admin@mailman.ds9a.nl [mailto:lartc-admin@mailman.ds9a.nl]On > Behalf Of glynn > Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2002 7:59 PM > To: Christoph Simon > Cc: lartc@mailman.ds9a.nl > Subject: Re: [LARTC] Gre Tunneling Problem > > > Hello Christoph, actually I havent done with netfilter rules and > i dont have > any restrictions applied for the linux, its a normal configuration, I also > enable the forwarding under the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward > with the value > of 1. can you figure out whats the problem? thanks > > Glynn > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Christoph Simon" <ciccio@kiosknet.com.br> > To: "glynn" <glynn@itextron.com> > Cc: <lartc@mailman.ds9a.nl> > Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 7:41 PM > Subject: Re: [LARTC] Gre Tunneling Problem > > > > On Sun, 6 Jan 2002 17:39:46 +0800 > > "glynn" <glynn@itextron.com> wrote: > > > > > Hello everyone, I have a problem regarding gre tunneling, I have two > > > linux box both of them has a private network and the linux A is > > > connected to the internet via wireless radio and the other linux B is > > > connected to the internet via lease line.
