Re: Linux and Routing




I fixed it.  *basically* I didn't have ipv4 forwarding turned on.  I did
this, and everything worked great.  Here's my routing table now:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
208.169.40.1    *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 eth1
206.152.121.102 *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 eth0
208.169.40.0    *               255.255.255.240 U     0      0        0 eth1
206.152.121.0   *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         mtv-cs3640-1.mv 0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0
default         208.169.40.1    0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth1


If you'd like to see this in action, do a traceroute to 208.169.40.2.
Although, it may not go, because the 208.169.40.2 machine is an iMac that
shuts its network off when it is idle for so many minutes, and it doesn't
seem to do wake on LAN.
