Hi, > What is it you want to achieve? eth0 -> 192.168.2.0/24 eth1 -> 192.168.3.0/34 I want to achieve two seperate networks. I want traffic from eth1 to go via eth0 which will link the two LANS and provide Internet access. > I don't see any firewall configuration at all.... > your route is wide open... so to speak. Yes, I have not added any firewalling yet. This is for my 3 machines at home. After I am happy with my routing I intend to add Firewalling rules, VPN and learn about bandwith shaping. > In case you want to enable forwarding from the lan boxes to internet, > just enable forward, masquerade output and that's it. It would be this simple if there was just one LAN. > Creating two separate routing tables is not a must. The issue here is how to route packets from one NIC to another. Deciding on which networks to use and why is another question. > Once the network interfaces > come up, they set the route.... just make sure the default gateway is > set as well. Won't the default route for eth0 be 192.168.2.6 and won't the default route for eth1 be 192.168.3.6 ? I fail to see how "Once the network interfaces come up, they set the route" will make packets from eth1 will auto-magiclly go out eth0 as eth1 default route is not eth0 by default. Regards, Rudi.
