Almost got it (routing)

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.0.0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.200

Ok, from my PC on the 192.168.0.0/24 network , I can ping the router at
both interface (192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1), from the router I can ping
the only pc in the 192.168.0.0/24 network (192.168.0.201). From the
192.168.1.0/24 network I can ping the router (192.168.1.1) on NIC #1 ,
but not on NIC #2 (192.168.0.1).

From the router I can ping any box on either network. I guess, looking
at my routing table, what am I missing so that I can send traffic back
and forth across both networks????

I really do appreciate anymore help any of you guys could give me.

Thanks again,

chris

This entry says "send traffic for 192.168.0.0/24 to 192.168.1.1 (via eth1).

This entry says "send traffic for 192.168.0.0/24 via eth0 (it's a direct
connection).

Which one is correct?

It depends on what your connections are. If all of the 192.168.0.x are on
the same ethernet wire as your computer, then the second. If not and if
192.168.1.1 knows how to get the packets to the right ethernet loop, then
the first is.

In the second case if say you want to send something to 192.168.0.23, your
system will put a broadcast message ( to 192.168.0.255) onto the ethernet
wire saying "who is 192.168.0.23". The computer whose address it is will
send back and say "192.168.0.23 is a0:13:22:35:f2 " (ie the mac address of
the ethernet card on that net whose IP is 192.168.0.23). You computer will
then post a direct ethernet packet to the MAC address a0:13:22:35:f2.

In the first case, your computer will do the same for the address
192.168.1.1 but the packet which is sent will contain the message "pls
forward this to 192.168.0.23"

Im pretty sure this has something to do with your routing table, as you
probably already know..

Is your router connected to the internet? or are you just bridging two
subnets?
