Setting up masquerading (not sure where the problem is happening)

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.
