Hello All, I have sort of a multi-part question that is driving me nuts. I am running a box with Linux 7.2 Roswell (7.2 beta) with one nic (using tulip.o module) and Kernel 2.4.12-ac3 (machine A) I am in the process of setting up another machine as a router (machine B). I have iptables setup on machine B with what I believe to be a correct configuration for using 2 nics. I have been connecting to the net via machine A to check out iptables info on the net. Then to test the setup I try to switch machine A over to an internal ip address (192.168.1.10). This has been done manually by editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, as well as using linuxconf and netconfig. After doing this ifconfig shows that it still has the same address it last had when using dhcp. However a ping shows that it is using the internal ip. and route shows that eth0 has two addresses the internal ip as well as the dhcp ip. I have been able to get it to have only the internal ip by restarting the entire machine which should not be necessary. the next part isn't so important but once I get machine A to work properly I can ping itself, I can also ping the router but not the outside world. The router can ping itself and the outside world but not machine A. I am currently more interested in getting machine A to change IPs properly. Then I will deal with getting both machines to see each other then I will move on to iptables and NAT. Thanks in advance for any help, -peel - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
