Hi! Here goes my problem:
- I have tree machines on my local network. My IP adresses are: 192.168.0. {1,2,3}.
- I connect to the internet over my ISDN card on my machine.
- For NAT I use gshield.
my /etc/conf.d/net: iface_eth0="192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
iface_ippp0="192.168.0.100 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
gateway="ippp0/192.168.0.100"
And the problem:
I can't ping my other machines before I connect to the internet. After connecting ping works ok.
If I change gateway=eth0/192.168.0.1, I can't ping any IP on the internet. What do mean the interface and IP options in gateway?
So I wan't to ping my machines before connecting to the internet. How can I manage this? Any suggestions?
first you should correct the entry for ippp0.
ppp/ippp are non-broadcast media, that are point-to-point-links
you need no defaultgateway because it is set by pppd when connecting
i have for my dsl-connection the following entry :
----
iface_ppp0="192.168.1.200 dynamic pointopoint 192.168.1.1"
---
and no default gateway
of course you should name your interface ippp0, I think you can set ip-address to whatever you like, but prefer non-local adresses from a private zone
