routing question
Hi there,
I'm in the process of setting up a 486 sx/25 as a dialup router
(with one modem and one network card). Unfortunately, the ISP can't seem
to get the external routing right yet, so my testing is being held up.
The question is this: I've compiled a lean, mean kernel with the
appropriate IP forwarding enabled (no firewalling or masquerading is being
used). Will it "route" by default, or do I need to add a specific package
or other external software?
Here's the output of "route":
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
cs10.mil.ptd.ne * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 2 ppp0
cs10.mil.ptd.ne * 255.255.255.255 UH 1 0 0 sl0
204.186.230.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 35 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 18 lo
default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 87 ppp0
default * 0.0.0.0 U 1 0 15 sl0
The modem is 204.186.27.145 (cs10-01.mil.ptd.net). Our IP addresses (not
yet completely routed, but will be routed through the modem) are:
204.186.230.1, 204.186.230.2, 204.186.230.3 . The first address is given
to the network card in the Linux dialup router, and the second address is
assigned to an NT server on the network, so once the external router to
the ISP recognizes the route, pinging 204.186.230.2 is a good test.
_Any_ advice would certainly be helpful!
