i'm setting up a gateway for use in one of our remote offices. it will
use a GPRS modem to connect to the outside world and eth0 on the
internal LAN.
i am connecting to the internet fine using both ppp0 and eth0 interfaces
_separately_! but setting up the box as a gateway is proving difficult.
i have set up gateways before but using two NICs, not a NIC and a modem.
i didn't have to tamper with iptables until later in the configuration.
i am assuming it is going to be the same in this set up. i want to set
up routing first.
my ISP is using DHCP and ppp0 gets assigned 172.21.5.136, say and uses
gateway 172.21.0.1.
i am able to ping 172.21.5.136 but not 172.21.0.1. what do route do i
need to add?
What does your current route table look like? Also, what does your
/etc/network/interfaces look like? (Strip out blanks and comments
to minimize the noise, please.)
