problem connecting Debian 3.0 to OpenBSD NAT box
Okay, I give up.
I have an OpenDSB NAT box, with 2 NICs:
dc0 = dhcp assigned from router upstream, (usually assigned as
192.168.1.102)
sis0 = 10.0.0.1 (manually assigned)
I have a client box which I want to connect to the internet through the
OpenBSD NAT box as a "pass-through" to the client box. When I start up
the client box using LNX-BBC 2.1, it works fine, manually assigning
(using "trivial-net-setup") to eth0 at the client box:
ip address: 10.0.0.2
gateway: 10.0.0.1
network: 10.0.0.0
netmask: 255.255.255.0
broadcast: 10.0.0.255
nameserver: 24.x.x.x (at the upstream ISP)
But . . .
When I start the same client box using Debian 3.0. I try to connect to
the NAT box manually entering the information in "netenv" during the
startup process. It looks for the interfaces, but it stalls at that
point until I ctrl-c. Then it finishes the boot process. After that,
when i ping, here's what I get:
eth0 (10.0.0.2): OK
(client box)
sis0 (10.0.0.1): OK
(NAT box)
dc0 (192.168.1.102 [currently]): NO CONNECT (NAT
box)
Note: "netenv" does not ask what the gateway should be (should be 10.0.0.1).
Note: the route command shows an * under "gateway".
Note: when I physically re-cable to bypass the NAT box and connect the
client box directly to the router upstream (192.168.1.1), the cleint box
connects to the outside world just fine.
I have exhaustively re-configured the "netenv" configuration files, and
a number of other configuration files, but I just can't seem to get
Debian to ping past 10.0.0.1.
Is there some way to get Debian to understand that dc0 (192.168.1.102)
is a gateway, and not a brick wall? If LNX-BBC can, shouldn't Debian be
able to?
Thanks for any help you can give.
