Question, do i need any of the packet forwarding options compiled into the kernel to be able to network another computer on a seperate eth card???
this is what im trying to do...
eth0 -- roadrunner -- dhcp
eth1 -- static ip -- conecting to a window$ box
pretty simple, i have all eth cards working, via ifconfig and i also setup some routes(below), but i cannot get either box to communicate... i can ping each card from its own box but not each other and i also see action on the hub when trying to ping between the boxes.. i dont think the eth cards are the problem.. but the problem may be in my route commands, alas i am a networking newbie...
this seems to work fine.. but still no luck.. im about to take winblow$ off the other box and have another slackware'd box and see if that works... who knows!?! aaaahhh.. if anyone has some input, or if anything is unclear, ill be listening
Why are you using 192.20.30.0? Did you pay to get two public ips? I dont think wiping off the windowz machine will help your problem. If you are going to ip masquerade then you should use use an ip from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 on eth1 and one of them for your windowz machine. check out www.ipmasq.cjb.net .
i got it... i asked a couple network guys i know and they said everything that i had done was right, well except for the public ip, and suggested that i switch out the NIC.. so i did, i just moved it to the next pci above it and now it works fine... probably sharing an irq that was causing the problem?? strange though that i could ping the card from the local box... but it works and it feels good to stop swearing after a day of speaking nothing but profanity to my boxes
