I have a strange question. Maybe i'm a little bit OT... but i think that here is the only place where i can find the solution. Here is my net eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:74:4F:59:90 inet addr:1.17.192.121 Bcast:1.17.192.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::208:74ff:fe4f:5990/10 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:13434 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:10258 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:3472 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:12774051 (12.1 Mb) TX bytes:1425533 (1.3 Mb) Interrupt:24 Base address:0xdcc0 Memory:ff6e0000-0 ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:62.98.28.48 P-t-P:212.245.47.230 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:42 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:1235 (1.2 Kb) TX bytes:205 (205.0 b) I disabled lo for testing. Let say i want to contact 62.98.28.48 passing through eth0 and not directly (that's why i disabled lo .... without success) lyra:/etc/ppp # ip route show 62.98.28.48 dev eth0 scope link 192.168.0.0/24 dev vmnet8 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.0/24 dev vmnet1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1 1.17.192.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 1.17.192.121 default dev eth0 scope link I tried to modify my route like this... but it doesn't work! Yes... i know it is a strange question.What i'm trying to do is to contact my machine trhough another internet access!! weird!! (believe me... it has a sense :) Could netfilter help me? Thank you
