I am using linux boxes as routers. I have two NE2000 compatible card in each linux box. I have done all the "ifconfig" and "route add" stuff. Ping is working on all interfaces. My problem is that even if the routes are there ( I have check with netstat -rn ),the linux box is not routing packet? as an exemple: I have this problem when the linux box is receiving packet on eth1 that are destinated to the LAN on eth0 ( from eth1 I am trying to ping a host on eth0 LAN). The packet are never sent to LAN on eth0. But, it is working if received packets on eth1 are destinated to eth0 interface itself ( from eth1 I ping the IP address of eth0 interface) . thanks you! jfl
Do you have IP Forwarding enabled? Run "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward". It should print "1" if you have IP Forwarding enabled.
