Routing Table Scenario Needs Examination...


Ok, here is the layout:

192.168.6.55: Host obtaining DHCP information from eth0. This is the host that should be able to obtain Internet access through bridge host's internal WiFi, connected to a wireless router (ra0).

eth0 (192.168.6.5): DHCP Delivery NIC on bridge host designed to give endpoint internal WiFi access (ra0).

192.168.1.10: This is the DHCP bridge host's WiFi IP obtained from DHCP on WiFi router. Otherwise known as ra0.

192.168.1.1: This is the IP of the router connected to the Internet (gateway machine).

Routing table using route on DHCP bridge looks like this:

Quote:
192.168.6.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 ra0
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ra0
192.168.6.55 (IP gotten through DHCP on eth0) cannot ping 192.168.1.1 or reach any hosts on the Internet. I do not see why. Perhaps my routing knowledge wears a bit thin, but I can't determine the reason. Anyone care to assist? Thanks.

Have you set the gateway for 192.168.6.55 as 192.168.6.5?

Does your internet router have a route back to 192.168.6.0 ?
