This time you posted 5 ip addresses from 186-190, again , no legal subnet. Since you don't actually have an ip network, but a few addresses belonging to a network you need to use host routes. You can google for stuff like "ip subnet" and "CIDR" for more information. Be careful with just using postrouting and prerouting chains, if you really don't understand the flow you will likely get yourself into trouble. Hence back to host routing as was previously suggested. Regards, Ted -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
