How to connect two networks

Hi

I am trying to configure the communication between two networks, this is my description.

One server with two nic.
eth0:192.168.0.53 - public
eth1:192.168.1.53 - lan

when I get connected from my WiFi with IP 192.168.1.10 and I try to ping to 192.168.0.53 I can't, how can I configure this to let this two networks see each other?

Thank you for your help.

Taking eth0 as public, and eth1 as lan,
Try

Code:

route -vF add 192.168.1.0 eth0 
route -vF add 192.168.0.0 eth1

That should connect the networks. This makes presumptions about netmasks, etc. You may also need to specify those. (Man route)

Hi,

Assuming you have correctly set up the two networks (and so you can ping addresses in both networks from you linux box), you do not have to do any extra routing.
There are two things that I think of that still have to be done:

- Enable ip forwarding (e.g. by echo 1 > /proc/... (google it

)
- Add routes (or a default route) on hosts on both networks to the IP address of your linux box. This is quite important too.

Gl!
