How do I connect dual nics in firewall to the gateway?


I have Red Hat 7.3 and I have dual nics. The external nic is connected to a linksys router and is getting the IP via DHCP from the linksys device.

I have another nic card with a hard coded IP address from my network. I have setup static routes from each nic. The external nic route has a desination of the linksys gateway. The internal nic route destination is the internal nic IP (which is reserved). From any workstation I can ping each nic card IP, but I can not ping the linksys gateway IP, nor can I ping any address on the internet.

What am I missing? Did I miss configure the nic cards?

Thanks in advance

newbie scoobadiver.

You'll have to do NAT between the two interfaces,
I'd think ... go to http://www.tldp.org and have a look
at the Advanced-Routing-HowTo ... also have a look
at
man iptables


Cheers,

My first question is who are you trying to ping?
You probably know what you are doing, but just in case
are you trying a site that does accept ping?

I used to use netscape but seeing as that doesn't work anymore,
now I use ping www.freshmeat.org

<quote>The external nic is connected to a linksys router and is getting the IP via DHCP from the linksys device. </quote>

If that is working, this is all I can suggest.

Oh yes, and those iptables. New to me too. Just ran in to it recently.
Never really bothered about it before...

iptables are cool, i did a presentation on them for my lug, since no one knew anything about them (even me). After a fairly extensive read through the documentation, i know that its possible to do full routing via just iptables, which is cool, btw.
