Unless that external IP address is actually a system routed on the inside of some corporate network (where there's an overlay for the RFC 1918 ranges), what you're describing sounds very odd. Typically, systems with RFC 1918 are accessible from the Internet only through a NAT device that does some sort of static address and/or port translation -- meaning that you use a _different_ address to reach it, not the RFC 1918 address. Are you perhaps misstating the addresses in use as some sort of security measure, or is there more going on here than you're telling us about? > I would like to be able to get right from 10.0.1.29 to the 192 network. > On 10.0.1.3 I set the ip_forard (I forgot exaclty what it is called) to 1 > and restarted the network. You'll also need routes on the 192 network to point back to the 10 network. > ssh -l root 192.168.5.191 > > it wouldn't let me and couldn't connect (though it would work from 10.0.1.3). > > Did I miss something, or what else do I need to do? You likely missed the reverse routes I described above. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
