Please Gurus here solve my simple nw problem

Hi,
"I am finally stuck up " type of post. I will first explain how my network
is built and the problems I am having. I earnestly request the altruists
here to help me out.

Physical network
********************


USERLAN<-----> HUB <--->(eth0)GENTOO ROUTER(eth1)<--Crossover
cable----->(eth0)AnotherGentoo

So that was about the physical connections of my network.

Now..the software part of networking. I decided to keep USERLAN and
connected eth0 of router in 192.168.0.0 network. So simply speaking all
computer connected directly to HUB are having 192.168.0.x network address.
Coming to other side of router, I have decided a simple 192.168.1.0 network,
so eth1 of router and Gentoo system have 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2
addresses respectively.

I would like to list the commands I used here to setup up this routing
table:
AT ROUTER:
1. route add 192.168.0.0 eth0
2. route add 192.168.1.0 eth1

AT Another Gentoo:

1. route add default gw 192.168.1.1
2. route add 192.168.0.0 gw 192.168.1.1

With this simple setup, I am able to ping router's eth0 and eth1 from Gentoo
system. but I am not able to ping USERS from Gentoo system! I did set ip
forwarding to 1.

Also on the router if I " ping -I eth0 192.168.1.1" it fails. Also "ping -I
eth1 192.168.0.1" too fails.. So I think if i make the routing between the 2
eth in router, I can make whole network conected. Am I correct? I hope my
explanation about my problem was clear. If you need any more info, I am here
waiting to pump in more detail. Here r my network routes:

ROUTE TABLE AT AnotherGentoo (192.168.1.2 eth0)
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

ROUTE TABLE at Router(eth0-192.168.0.111 eth1-192.168.1.1)
erver root # route -n
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 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

here 192.168.0.1 is in USERS LAN ..presently I am having DSL connection
here.

The problem is , from 192.168.1.2 I am able to ping 192.168.1.1,
192.168.0.111..BUT I am not able to ping 192.168.0.1!!!! Strange! I am not
able to debug this stuff.. PLease help me out at this cliff!

If anybody can hepl me out! "karamba!" wud be gr8.
Thanx,
Giri

The USERS machines need to know a route back to 192.168.1.0/24
to be able to respond to the pings. If you went to one of the USERS
machines and used the arp command to inspect the arp table, does it show
unresolved arp/ip correspondences for Another Gentoo?

Perhaps you could set up a proxy arp for 192.168.1.0/24 on your
Gentoo Router.

You shouldn't need to do this. Both of those subnets are already known to
the router by virtue of being directly connected networks. I.e they are
specified by the address and subnet masks you set up on the router eth0 &
eth1.

The second line is superfluous.

The hosts on USERLAN have to have 192.168.0.1 as their default gw.

Are you allowing packet forwarding, netfilter?

This is odd. Are you sure you are not blocking certain things in
netfilter?

Ya, right! everything here is set by default.

I have enabled packet forwarding in my system to 1. But I have not even
installed netfilter! Is this a kernle module or somethin or an application?
Why actually i need netfilter? Firewall?

I am sure, I dont have any netfilter or somthing. ping -I eth0 192.168.1.1
(ping to other interface of the router also fails!!!!!) What the heck?

If this is the case, then most of the machines in USERLAN, including
192.168.0.2 will try to use 192.168.0.1 as their next hop towards
the 192.168.1.0/24 net, when the only machine you have said that can
get there is 192.168.0.111.

The machines in USERLAN need to be told that to get to
192.168.1.0/24 they have to route through 192.168.0.111.

You can do this by specifying 192.168.0.111 is the gateway
for all machines on 192.168.0.0/24 (excepting 192.168.0.1
and 192.168.0.111. 102.168.0.1 should be left alone to
route intenet traffic over its DSL. 192.168.1.111 (ROUTER)
should route 0.0.0.0 (gateway) to 192.168.0.1, and have
routes for each of the subnets on both its ethernet cards.

Or you can leave 192.168.0.1 as the gateway, but give
it a static route for 192.168.1.0/24 via 192.168.0.111.
Then packets for 192.168.1.0/24 send from most of
USERLAN will go via the gateway at 192.168.0.1 to
192.168.0.111 and then onto the 192.168.1.0/24 net

Or you can specify a static route to 192.168.0.111 for
192.168.1.0/24 on every machine on USERLAN.

If you don't pick one of those methods, most machines
on USERLAN, including 192.168.0.2 will try to send
192.168.1.0/24 traffic to 192.168.0.1, who will try
to send it out the DSL.

Hi Creideiki!!
Karamba! U r correct! "DOH!" I now get where I was
wrong. I had eth0 of router configured 192.168.0.1 as gateway and trying to
ping from 192.168.0.1 eth0 to eth1!!! Naturally it was going to 192.168.0.1
for the route....Hey man...Thanx for the eyeopener!! I was dumb really
...hehe

I will notw happily setup rest of the work. Thanx again for removing the
stumble.

With lots of wishes,
Giri
