Hello. I need your help. The problem is I can not make route nat working with kernel 2.6 although in 2.4 everthing works perfectly. If this is the wrong list to ask question about this, please poke me in the right one. So. I have router with two network cards: eth0(192.168.1.10) and eth1 (192.168.2.150). Kernel is 2.6.8.1. In the kernel all options and suboptions concerning "IP: advanced router" are enabled. I want to map computer in 192.168.2.0/24 subnet with IP 192.168.2.5 on 192.168.1.17 in 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. I am not an artist but may be this graph can illustrate my situation: 192.168.1.0/24<..... nat ....>192.168.2.0/24 <192.168.1.1>-----<192.168.1.10>router<192.168.2.150>-----<192.168.2.5> eth0 eth1 host i want <192.168.1.17>----------nat------------> to map dummy address So following ip-cref written by Alexey Kuznetsov first of all I issue the command: nat router # ip route add nat 192.168.1.17 via 192.168.2.5 Now my router answers ARP for 192.168.1.17 and recieves the packets for it. Then it ever route them from eth0 to eth1 BUT it does not nat destination ip address. Look what one can see using tcpdimp! I ping 172.16.1.17 from 192.168.1.1: nat router # tcpdump -ni eth0 05:49:19.085838 arp who-has 192.168.1.17 tell 192.168.1.1 05:49:19.086938 arp reply 192.168.1.17 is-at 00:0c:29:od:85:04 05:49:19.692799 IP 192.168.1.1 > 192.168.1.17: icmp 64: echo request seq 1 AT the same time on eth1: nat router # tcpdump -ni eth0 05:49:19.692837 IP 192.168.1.1 > 192.168.1.17: icmp 64: echo request seq 1 My route table is Ok. nat router # ip route 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.2.250 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.10 127.0.0.0/8 via 127.0.0.1 dev lo scope link So why the packet that should be DNATed is not and how could packet that should be sent to eth0 sent to eth1? Is there any other possibility to nat 192.168.2.5 on 192.168.1.17? The last question what is with "IP: fast network address translation" in 2.6.9 kernel? Why it is absent? Thank you in advance, _____________ Peter. P.S. I need your help to find sollution. Otherwise there is a possibility for my employer can dismiss me. P.P.S. below is also my letter with the same problem.
