It might seem like I'm asking this question in vain but let me post it for the last time. I have a server with two interfaces 128.187.2.0/16 and 128.187.1.0/16 that was setup by a vendor (I dont think there is any ip routing enabled). I have a hosts on two hubs (server card 1 is on hub 1 128.187.2.1 and server card 2 is on hub 2 128.187.1.1) I have a firewall with two interface cards with the following eth1: 128.187.3.1/24 [hub 1] and eth2: 128.187.4.1/24 [hub 2]. I want each side to talk to the other in the event that one of the network card goes down. I have a firewall setup like the following. eth1: 128.187.3.1/24 and eth2: 128.187.4.1/24 - with clients on each side of the lan with default gateway being the interface that it is connected to. I have done the following: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ip route replace 128.187.1.1 dev eth1 ip route replace 128.187.2.1 dev eth2 >From the firewall I can ping 128.187.1.1 & 128.187.2.1. clients from the 128.187.3.0 side can't ping 128.187.2.1 and clients from the 128.187.4.0 side can't ping 128.187.1.1. How can I allow hosts on the eth1: 128.187.3.1/24 to ping 128.187.2.1 and hosts on eth2: 128.187.4.1/24 to ping 128.187.1.1. Thanks in Advance. _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
