Posted this on what may have been the wrong list... Trying here
Trying to use Debian to share my ADSL connection, Ok, installed 3.0 and proceeded to install an extra ethernet card... I can ifconfig eth1 <insert class C address> <Netmask> broadcast <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> Have tried several different example firewall scripts just to test. Then trying to: luck:~# route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw <ISP's assigned gateway> eth1 I get SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable Any suggestions? Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth1 142.173.64.0 * 255.255.192.0 U 40 0 0 eth0 default 142.173.64.254 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth0 Current hardware setup is the line from my ADSL modem going to a hub, then a line from the hub to eth0... That all seems to work.. Eth1 is connected directly via LAN cable to another computer that is running windows ME and I think it's properly configured. Do I need a cross over cable or would that not be necessary? Or am I totally barking up the wrong tree, Thanks in advance. Gary
