Re: Routing Problem

Hi,

I can imagine two easy caises:

1) Missing default gw

Is the Suse box marked as the default gateway? Run the command route, and if you don't see an entry called default, try creating it. I believe the command is

route add default gw <name or IP of Suse host>

2) Missing forward

Is the Suse box forwarding packets? If not, it won't pass packets from one NIC to the other. Run the command:

user@host $ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
1

If you get "0", you should add the command

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

in a file read at boot. I don't know Suse, so I can't tell you what file to use.
