Re: 2 ethernet interfaces

["sumeet" <sumeetsharma30@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Goldwyn.
I am still not clear on ur network arch. but this is what i will suggest

This is assuming:
 eth0 is connected to ur internal network
and eth1 to the isp directly or thourough the router(R1)
On the command prompt give this:
a) route add -net 192.0.4.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
b)route add -net <dest network of ur isp or the router(R1) internal
interface>  netmask 255.255.255.255 eth1
This tells the router which interfece(eth0/eth1) is the packet to go to.
Now we add the default route.
c)route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw <ip add for ur isp's gateway if
it is connected directly(thru a modem) or the ip of the internal interface
of the router R1>


Hope this helps

Sumeet
