Pardon me for asking a dumb newbie question, but this has been giving me
conniptions for the past few weeks, and I've checked the FAQs without
success.
I have configured an older Pentium-class machine as a packet-filtering
router and Internet gateway using ipchains. I've hung a Windows 2000 machine
behind the router and gotten to the Internet with no problems. I can ping
the gateway, and all seems fine. The gateway's IP address is 192.168.0.1;
the Win 2000 laptop's is 192.168.0.3.
I've built a second Linux box, which I would like to make an Apache and file
server at some point. (I would also like for my kids to be able to access
the Web from this box.) I've configured networking, giving this box
192.168.0.2, and I tried using my gateway's IP address. When I try to ping
the gateway machine, I get Destination Unreachable messages. Can anybody
shed some light on this for me?
Following is my configuration info and the routing info for the second box:
Host name: files
IP address: 192.168.0.2
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
Enable routing: deselected (I've tried both ways)
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric
Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.2 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0
0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0
0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0
0 0 lo
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0
0 0 eth0
I've tried manually changing the routing table as well, to no avail. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John Johnson
