Hi all, I'm running RH7.3 plus errata. I've read through the HowTo and I had something like this configuration working on RH7.1, but it looks like the interface to IP and ROUTE has changed considerably since then..... I'm trying to set up a simple router configuration to route between subnets, as shown in the diagram. My aim is to provide traffic shaping between the 194.80.34.0 hosts and the 148.88.0.0 and 192.168.106.0 networks. 148.88.0.0 network --------+-------------------------------+----- __ | | ___/ \_ +------+-----------------+ +-------+-----------+ _/ \__ | eth2 148.88.155.253| |eth1 148.88.154.150| / \ | | | | | network -----+ eth0 194.80.34.202 | | WinXP | | 194.80.34.0 | | Linux router | | | \_ __/ | | | 192.168.106.1 | \__ __/ | eth1 192.168.106.2 | | eth0 | \___/ +------+-----------------+ +---------+---------+ | | | 192.168.106.0 network | ----+---------------------------------+-------- The routes and addresses for the Linux box are as listed below. I have enabled ip-forwarding: # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 1 # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth2/forwarding 1 # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/forwarding 1 # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/forwarding 1 From the Linux host I can ping all the subnets I have defined and have connections to. Ie: Ping 192.168.106.1 Ping 148.88.154.150 Ping 194.80.34.35 (Remote Host) When I try to ping from the WinXP machine I get mixed results. Ie: Ping 192.168.106.2 -- works fine Ping 194.80.34.202 -- works fine Ping 194.80.34.35 (Remote Host) -- doesn't work -- Using Ethereal I see the ARP request at eth2 rom the WinXP on the Linux router but no response, and then time out at the WinXP box. Not quite sure the pings don't work in the configuration I have, unless I have missed something in the routing tables or a basic configuration parameter. Any suggestions ? Do I need further routes defining ? Do I need to enable something to allow ARP requests to be responded to ? Is there any way to check if the required routing is enabled in the kernel ? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. John Cushnie.
