Hi Guys,
Can you please have a look at the message below.
I have had this problem recently myself, but thought
the problem was with myself & not linux routing.
Couple of fellow newbies have asked me the same
question ...
I trust you guys can solve this simple problem.
Ps: I had similar problems with redhat 5.2 / free bsd
2.2.7 .
Cheers

From the 10. network, the workstation
Likewise, the # 1client on 137. can ping the two IP
(client #1) will ping the eth1 I/F in the
addresses configured on the Linux machine -
Linux machine - 10.0.0.10 and also the
137.213.188.12 and 10.0.0.10 BUT cannot ping
137.213.188.12 address. However, it gets
any
devices futher on such as client #1 at
a request timed out when trying to ping
10.0.0.14
another machine on the 137 network e.g.
137.213.188.11 (Client #2)

The contents of the /etc/route.conf:

# Multicast route for e.g. eth0. IP multicasting,

255.255.254.0 eth0
10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
255.255.255.0 eth1
and the output from the route command is:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask
Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
suse.homenet.or * 255.255.255.255 UH
1 0 0 dummy0
10.0.0.0 * 255.255.255.0
U 0 0 0 eth1
137.213.188.0 * 255.255.254.0
U 0 0 0 eth0
loopback * 255.0.0.0
U 0 0 0 lo
My (weak) understanding of the routing table seems to
suggest that access to the 10. network
is through eth1 and to the 137 network is thru eth0.
Although I can ping both cards in the
Linux server from each side, packets don't seem to be
able to progress any further. Without
any documentation (other that the exquisitely
translated book that came with the distribution),
do I still need to enable forwarding in some way -
e.g. rebuild the kernel for example.
