When i m adding the gateway (provide by ISP) to the NIC(192.168.1.6) used for LAN ,I m getting error as below.


[root@Ezynet sysconfig]# route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 61.3.129.130 dev eth1
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
[root@Ezynet sysconfig]#


Pl help

is the network interface up? show us the result of your ifconfig listing.

try this:

you need to set up your IP (your provider should have given you one) and your default gateway. your connection to the provider probably should have an IP in the 61.3.129.0/24 range (check your documentation) or be provided over DHCP

the default gateway:
/sbin/route add default gw 61.3.129.130

Yes it is....

[root@Ezynet admin]# ifconfig

I have tried by issuing this command

/sbin/route add default gw 61.3.129.130

But error as before i. e.



[root@Ezynet admin]# /sbin/route add default gw 61.3.129.130
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
[root@Ezynet admin]#

Is this machine directly connected to the internet?

If so one of your eth cards will have to have your real IP address provided by your ISP as said below something in the range 61.3.129.0/24 either got by dhcp or told to you by your ISP. You've got two private addresses there.

Adding a gateway to a machine when the gateway isn't in the same subnet won't work.

Yes it is connected to the internet. But i cannot ping to any address in internet.

Information provided by my ISP is

IP - 10.23.0.9
Subnetmask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 61.3.129.130
DNS - 61.0.128.65
61.0.0.5

i think the problem is that the gw is not in the same subnet as your host. the ip (is this statically assigned?) configured on eth1 is likely wrong. it should be in the 61.3.129.xx range for it to see the gw (that or the gw needs to be in the 10.23.0.xx ragne). u might want to check with your ISP again on those values.

But with this setup it is working normal in Windows environment.

IP - 10.23.0.9
Subnetmask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 61.3.129.130
DNS - 61.0.128.65
61.0.0.5

Local LAN IP - 192.168.1.4


I m able to browse to internet from any machine in the network through the Gateway with the setup given above.

are u masquerading or using IP aliasing?

i m using masquerading.

can u show your network layout?

As per the layout given i want to use my Linux box in place of PC-2 which is running on win 98 platform. In this PC-2 i m using a proxy(wingate) to share the internet in my local network.

.

that's really odd. there was another thread some days ago with the same problem (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=89484)

If I'm not wrong, a gateway must always be on the same subnet to forward packets. There must be some non-standard implementation in Windows' networking code to be able to work.

One more test you might want to try is issue tracert on the present win98 gateway and take note of the IP on the first hop and try using that IP as the gw if it returns a different value than what was configured.

not sure if it's going to work but it's worth a try :P
