Product: drakxtools
Component: DrakConnect
Summary: Can't configure non-default lan gateway
Product: drakxtools
Version: 9.2-11mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: DrakConnect
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. It may be that I just can't figure out
how to do this with DrakConnect, or it may be that DrakConnect simply does not
want to address this.
The scenario is an internal LAN network with one of the machines connecting to
the external internet via PPP. All of the machines on the internal LAN are
connected to a Linksys hub at 192.168.1.1, and have internal addresses of
192.168.1.xxx. The desire is to have the PPP machine configure so that it is
basically doing MASQ for the others.
The problem is that when configuring the eth0 NIC on the bridge machine, I can't
seem to find a way to get DrakConnect to add the eth0 interface properly. It
ends up giving me routings of
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 eth0
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 eth0
probably because there is no other default route (the PPP default route comes
and goes with PPP).
What I really need is
192.168.1.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH eth0
192.168.1.0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 UG eth0
This is easy enough to do in rc.local, but I was wondering if DrakConnect does
or ought to allow setting this up through the GUI.
