ip masquerading/subnets

[bruce]

Hi mike..


here's my system:

 internet


    dsl box
       V
       V
     dlink router (192.168.1.100)
         V
         V
       switch  ->>>>>>>>>>>>>>+
         ^                    V
         ^                    V
         ^                    V
        box1           wireless access point (192.168.1.200)
          (eth0)               |
                               |(ath0)
                              box2
                               |(eth0)
                               |
                                            box3 (future) (192.168.2.13)

    so:
 router - 192.168.1.100 (gateway)
 wireless access point - 192.168.1.200
 box1 (eth0) 192.168.1.3

 box2
    ath0 - 102.168.1.5
    eth0 - 102.168.2.5

 box3
    eth0 - 102.168.2.6

box1 connects to the switch, which is connected to the access point via the
lan (eth) connection.

so, everything is on the 192.168.1 subnet, except the eth0 nic of box2, and
the box3 that'll be added to interface with box2/eth0...

box2 has ip_forwarding set.

so my basic questions:
 -what do i need to do on box2 to allow a user to
  be able to do a "ping 192.168.2.5"
 -what do i need to do on box2 to allow a user on
  box1 to be able to "ping 192.168.2.5" and have a
  successful reply.

bear with me !!

thanks

I'm not so sure I have that basic understanding ;)

Blaaargh!  The command I gave you was a linux command that can't be
executed on the windows box, ergo: bad advice.

You mentioned two boxes with one to come, then you mentioned that there
is also another router (to the internet? connected to box1?).  If so,
then is this what you have?

internet                     (router's default gateway)
   |
router wan   xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (your outside IP)
router lan   yyy.yyy.yyy.??? (box1's default gateway)
   |
box1's eth?  yyy.yyy.yyy.??? (box1's other IP)
box1's eth0  192.168.1.3     (box2's default gateway)
   |
box2's ath0  192.168.1.5     (box1's route to box2 and beyond)
box2's eth0  192.168.2.5     (box3's default gateway)
   |
box3 eth0    192.168.2.???/24

Note that each box further from the internet has a default route that
points to the network device of the next closer box.

Now, in order to have box1 be able to access box2 and further box1 will
have to have a route added to its routing table that points to box2.
This is where I gave the wrong command.  You'd have to use whatever is
the appropriate windows command to add an additional route (ipconfig???).

The only other consideration (ignoring iptables) is that box2 must have
forwarding enabled or it will not pass traffic between its two interfaces:

     /etc/sysctl.conf -> net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

Hope that is a little clearer.  :m)
