It is not necessary on the Linux box (that connects the 2 networks). When you have that in the Linux/gateway/router it messes it up as it says to "go out eth0 to get out wlan0", which fails. So, delete the route you added to the Linux box as: 10.1.10.0 10.0.1.37 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 and add to each other system on the LAN (10.0.1.0). It should also be on the default gateway, just not on the Linux box joining the LAN & WLAN. I do not know how to do this on a Windows box, but you can use the line from the previous post to add it on any Linux boxes (other than the one acting as a router between the 2 networks). Once this is working, you'll want to add it via rc.local to make it a static route. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
