A network client can't ping a foreign host via a ppp connection


I have two computers (both running linux) in a network. One of them (slackware) connects to the internet via ppp. The other (red hat) cannot ping an outside host.



The result of route on the client (red hat)

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface

192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo

default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0



The result of route on the server (slackware)

Thank you!

The Slackware machine needs a few other settings to make it a gateway, namely ip packet forwarding and ip masquerading.

See the masquerading HOWTO for details...
