I installed Trustix 1.5 yesterday on a machine I want to use as a gateway box. As people wouldn't appreciate being knocked off the internet I was forced to install the system, with both nics being given private ip addresses.
I disabled one of the nics after the install and then using webmin I set it up to retrieve it's info via dhcp. I hooked up that nic this evening directly to the cable modem... and then ran into problems. I brought up the nic using ifup and it successfully retrieved an ip address (overwrote /etc/resolv.conf w/ the new dns servers, etc.). However, I found myself unable to reach any systems on the internet. I ran route to check my routing table... and the command didn't seem to ever finish executing... it just froze up somewhere near the end. (around where I think the default route would be) I also tried to manually the default gateway I needed (given by pump's status command) in case that would patch up the problems I was having... and then ran into this: ---- route add default gw A.B.C.D (replacing A.B.C.D w/ the real ip address) SIOCADDRT: File exists ---- I'm about fresh out of ideas so I was hoping that you networking gurus out there would have a suggestion or two for me.
