Hi, If u r thinking of Gatway-Router with linuxbox. The network set up looks ok. what is missing is, 1. you need say kernel to exchange packets between NIC's eth0 & eth1. Make IP-Forwarding ON. 2. to see the Internet behaind the router by the Win-box you need to SNAT the using iptables nat table. further you can use iptable FORWORD chain from ilter table. I am little confused.... u said u have Win-Servers. Then if u want the Internet see your Win-box behaind the Linux-router box. Then you need go for DNAT the required ports from that Win-Box.... I stronly suggest u use 3 NIC if u go for DNAT & SNAT. Do not disclose your end network IP's Further i suggest you check the CISCO product Linksys. which is cost effective solution. If you know your problem open source has answers may be the best, may be the worst. But it is pain full. >From you or from some else who we don't know. Good Day Sanjay Amin

Here is my setup for linux eth0 - connected directly to my ISP - IP: 209.172.108. 16 - Gateway = 209.172.108. 1 Sub= 255.255.255. 224, primary and secondary = 209.81.59.2/ 209.81.9. 151 eth1 - connected to a switch (that connects with 5 windows servers) - IP: 192.168.1.1, Sub = 255.255.255. 0, I do not set gateway for this interface. Here is my setup for 1 windows server: IP = 192.168.1.2 Gateway = **192.168.1. 1**, sub = **255.255.255. 0**. I was able to ping from windows to linux and vice versa. But, I could not get to the internet from windows server. I believe that I have to set sth with IPTABLES, is this correct? And, is it possible to create a linux router/gateway such that I can allow traffic like HTTP, MySQL, FTP , email to my 2 windows servers?? Thanks so much!!
