Hi all,

I'm very new at this and keen to learn. some pointer or resources would
be very helpful at this stage.

I'm wanting to setup a home network with the following configuration :

10.0.0.2 10.0.0.4
----------- ------- ----------------
| |eth0 | | eth0| |
| PC1 |--------| hub |------------| server-box |
| winxp | | | | linux |
----------- ------- ----------------
| |wlan0
| |192.168.0.1
| |
| |192.168.0.2
--------- ------------
| | | |
| adsl | | laptop |
| modem | | winxp |
| router | | |
--------- ------------
10.0.0.138


My problem lies in the configuration of the linux server box.

My current configuration :

1/ PC1 can see the linux server and the ADSL modem/router.
2/ The linux server can see PC1 and the ADSL modem/router and the laptop.
3/ The laptop can only see the linux server box.

I need the laptop to see PC1 and the ADSL modem/router.
Have I got the right IP addresses?

Any help is appreciated. Running 2.6 Kernel.

Peter.

OK, you should:
1. create a forwarding iptables firewall on your serverbox, to connect both
networks.

OR

2. re-design your addresses, for example:
make wlan0 10.0.0.5 and
make ur laptop 10.0.0.6
so that they are in the same 'subnet'.
