routing in linux
 

I got the following ip block from my ISP.

202.51.177.0/29 (Here 202.51.177.1 is my gateway which is located in my ISP's Router, My useable ip is 202.51.177.2 - 202.51.177.6)

I have a linux pc with 2 NIC. I have putted 202.51.177.2/255.255.255.252 in my eth0 which is connected to my ISP And 202.51.177.5/255.255.255.252 in my eth1. My PC is directly connected to eth1. My pc ip is 202.51.177.6/255.255.255.252 and gateway is 202.51.177.5

I can't go to internet. What I have to do in linux box. ip_forward=1 is already enabled. Plz help

It is possible that your ISP router does not have a route to 202.51.177.5/255.255.255.252 that is why the traffic is not coming back.

I (Tukang Nggame) have idea. Your linux pc use network 202.51.177.0/29.


(202.51.177.1/29)ISP-----(202.51.177.2/29 gw 202.51.177.1)-eth0-Your Linux PC-eth1-(192.168.0.1/24)--Client PC (192.168.0.xxx gw 192.168.0.1)

ISP-----------------eth0--YOUR Linux PC--eth1---------Client PC

In Your Linux PC use NAT !

Routing :
You can add in /etc/network/interfaces

up /sbin/route add -net [network] netmask [netmask] gw [gateway]

exp

up /sbin/route add -net 205.164.219.150 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 205.164.219.1
