Hi this is one of those weird ones, I am hoping soemone has come accross the answer to this:

I have a network 192.168.1.0/ 255.255.255.0
Unix machine : 192.168.1.3
Linux router: 192.168.1.2 (eth1) / public IP (eth0)
Routing set up on this machine, and all the machines can access the internet fine.

Company just set up a diginet line to another site :
Local diginet IP : 192.168.1.50
Foreign Diginet ip : 192.168.3.50
Their routing tables were set up by another company (I am wondering maybe if they are not the problem) But when I set up the routing tables to point to the 192.168.3.0 network. they can ping across just fine and all.

I have set the routing tables on the 192.168.3.0 network pc's to know about the 192.168.1.0 network, then set their default gateway to 192.168.1.2

They can ping the router, but it does not forward their packets ...?

I hope I made sense here

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

first off you can't have a 32 bit mask for a network, it leaves no bits for hosts, in other words 255.255.255.255 is an illegal mask. Are you running any routing protocals? Can you post a routing table for both sides?

oops, sorry ... the mask is a mistake ... I will edit it out now ..

I will get the routing tables posted asap.

Ok, this is the roting table for the linux box. that does Masquerading/NAT to the internet . I am emulating the problem on this machine, since the final machine on which this all has to work, has another internet connection with a public IP.

ok, fixed the problem with accessing shates between networks ... lets just say windows was involved ... I tried another one and all works .. now I don't know what t olook for ... I am back to my original problem ....

SOLVED:

Doesn't really make sense, but I ended up seting the default gateway for hte machines on 192.168.3.0 network to the 3com router's IP ... then added ectra routing for internet to the other router and then from the other router to the linux internet router ... and it all works ... weird ..
but I am happy

hope this helps anyone ever in this situation ...
