Hi! i'm new here, but i've used linux for a long time. my question is this:
my server (Mandrake 9.1, i know its old) is set up as a bridge to my PS2. all is fine and dandy, except the server wont access the internet. this is odd because i can get online with the PS2 going through the server. i think it is a problem with linux not using the bridge as the internet device, but i am not sure on how to set that. the bridge/server can access the network just fine, and other network computers can access it, except the server can't access the internet. i am at a loss on how to fix this, and any help would be much appreciated! im sorry if this is posted alot, i searched and did not find anything.
well i dont have iptables installed. but the output of route -n is
Code:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 bridge
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
it seems i dont have a gateway. how would i go out setting this? i tried ifconfig bridge gateway <ip of gateway> but that doesnt work. thank you again!
worked like a charm! (wait, how often do charms ACTUALLY work?) thank you very much! now you guys can see my blog and Ace Of spades links in my signature!
