configuring a routing proxy

Hi

im trying to configure an Proxy in my Network, but somehow it doesn´t
work.
First here is my network:


--- Client (XP) ---
IP: 129.168.100.5
m: 255.255.255.0
gw: 192.168.100.10

connected with Proxy gw: 129.168.10.10 (eth0)


--- Proxy (Fedora) ---
eth0
IP: 192.168.100.50
m: 255.255.255.0

eth1
IP: 129.168.10.10
m: 255.255.255.0

--- Server (XP) ---
IP:192.168.100.3
m:255.255.255.0
gw: 192.168.100.1


--- Router to Internet ---
IP: 192.168.100.1
m: 255.255.255.0


Proxy with eth0, the Server and the Router are connected with a switch.
The Client is just connected with the proxy on eth1.

Now here is what i want:
I want mainly to configure the proxy so i can forward the ip querys
like a ping to192.168.100.3, so that it is routed by the proxy to the
server and the answer back to the client.
So i aktivated ip_forward by: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

and added 2 routes:
route add -net 129.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.100.10
route add -net 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 129.168.10.10

I thought this should make it, but somehow it doesn´t.
So where is my mistake ???

Can someone help me? Do you need more information about my network?!

sry made a mistake, it should be this way:

--- Client (XP) ---
IP: 129.168.10.5
m: 255.255.255.0
gw: 129.168.10.10
connected with Proxy gw: 129.168.10.10 (eth0)

got it !

on the proxy ip_forward has just to be set to 0.
no routes need to be added

...sure, but that effectively means you don't need to use the proxy.

Nice bit of self-discussion, though
