Sahil, I'm assuming your network looks like this (appologies for bad ascii graphics): 10.0.0.0/24 210.54.149.160/27 NET---[cisco]---------------[linux box]-----LAN/DMZ Is that correct? If so, your cisco needs to route 210.54.149.160/27 via 10.0.0.2 (eth0 on the linux box), and your Linux box needs a default route via 10.0.0.1 so traffic goes out via the cisco (if that is your default route!) And that's it. There is no reason to add a route to the 210.54.149.160/27 range on the Linux box because it is directly connected to eth1. > -----Original Message----- > From: Sahil Gupta - NET4U [mailto:sahil@sahil.net.nz] > Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 12:39 PM > To: lartc@mailman.ds9a.nl > Subject: [LARTC] Am I on the right Track? > > > Hi there, > Is it possible to somehow have a fairly basic routing level > in order to forward packets from eth1 to eth0?
