I am getting a little confused with the process of setting up routing on a fedora C2 box. All i want to do is firstly forward traffic from the Eth1 (192.168.0.1) out to the Eth0 (10.61.0.0) network.

At the moment i have no traffic getting routed so i have turned off the fire using:

service iptables stop
chkconfig iptables off

this made no difference. my routing table is as follows

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 homer 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
10.61.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 10.61.0.3 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0


Internal Network = Eth1 (192.168.0.1)
External Network= Eth 0 (10.61.0.0)

What is wrong with this setup?

Thanks in advance

it's all down to your iptables rules, you need to enable NAT on the box that's doing the routing. you might like to look at a GUI like firestarter for doing this, or look at the ipmasq howto.

ok, i think i would prefer to do it via ipmasq as opposed to a s/w package.

if u hav any links or advice that u think may prove useful they would b much appreciated.

thanks for reply so quickly

There's no place like google.

what is the process of routing internal packets to an outside network like the internet.

Fedora C2

1.Setup LAN
2. Enable NAT
3. Routing Table Entries

Is this right ?

am i missing anything>?

Help as opposed to links would be greatly appreciated

thanks in advance
