Hi,

I want to configure a Linux system as a router (u can say IP Forwarding). This system can be used to connect two different IP Address schemes & will work as a router.

Can you provide more info about the networking setup (ip/mask/gateway) done at 1. machine A on segment 1 2. machine B on segment 2 3. router machine

Additionally, have you taken a look at linux router on a floppy project as well as freesco project? They are linux based but aimed at the core functionality as a router.

Thanks and Regards, Kiran Ghag Web Page: http://kiran7.freeservers.com

There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.

I've tried it with RedHat 8 & 9 also but no success. I've checked that service iptable is also not running.

Why use redhat for routing when you have a distribution specifically made for routing? Check the linux router project.

Oh, and please fix your line length.

hi amol

1. check ur firewall rules ... 2. check ur DNS settings ( or try pinging with the ip address ) , just to be sure

I've also enabled IP_FORWARD with echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward.

I'm not able to ping or telnet to other side network.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi there, Kindly check following things... gateway address on ur Linux sys used as router should be ur ISP providers gateways check the dns address the u mentioned in resolve.conf (note same address should be there on all the machine connecte to the router) important which type of connection are using PPP or ETH (accordingly masquerade the address) if set it wrong u wont able to ping or telnet to other machine.. Note the machines which are connected to router should have their gateway address as that of linux machine used as router..

Do check your network scripts.

Hope i am clear ..
