The problem with example 5.2 is that it's doing NAT routing. The network I am using is standalone using private address space--really nothing to do with "home networking" I want to route from one subnet to another.

Might I use this?

iptables -I FORWARD -i 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -d
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -j ACCEPT

iptables -I FORWARD -i 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -d 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -j ACCEPT

Remembering you're not yourself is easy. Forgetting to remember that you aren't remembering if you are yourself is slightly harder.

I was sure someone would beat me to this.

I'm using Gentoo and have a setup darn near identical to this:

Only difference is that I'm using it to be a bridge for my wireless network in the house to a wired network out in the garage... (yea, yea, I'm lazy for not stringing some cat-5 but, it works and it is a P.O.S. laptop that I don't care if it gets destroyed.) ;)

The iptables instructions are very well written in my opinion take a look at code listing 5.2.

Hope this helps,

George

A re-send. I don't think it went through the first times. Sorry in advance for a duplicate.

I knew how to configure a router via ipchains, but haven't used iptables in the same manner to do this.

This is my setup: eth0 192.168.0.1
		  eth1 192.168.1.1

I have comptuers on the "0" subnet as well as the "1" subnet. So I need to get linux to route the packets to/from the client 192.168.1.10 to the server on 192.168.0.10.

For example what I'd do in the past is this:
ipchains -I forward -j ACCEPT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d  192.168.0.0/24 -b

That would allow the linux box to then allow data to be moved across the two different subnets.

While this is a simple example of what I need to do, in reality, I have 4 subnets that need to be routed, say 192.168.0.0, 192.168.1.0, 192.168.2.0 and 192.168.3.0.

So my ipchains commands to route this network would be:
#routes from 0 to 1
ipchains -I forward -j ACCEPT -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d  192.168.1.0/24 -b
#routes from 0 to 2
ipchains -I forward -j ACCEPT -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d  192.168.2.0/24 -b
#routes from 0 to 3
ipchains -I forward -j ACCEPT -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d  192.168.3.0/24 -b
#routes from 1 to 2
ipchains -I forward -j ACCEPT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d  192.168.2.0/24 -b
#routes from 1 to 3
ipchains -I forward -j ACCEPT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d  192.168.3.0/24 -b
#routes from 2 to 3
ipchains -I forward -j ACCEPT -s 192.168.2.0/24 -d  192.168.3.0/24 -b

Thus the above example allows all the subnets to talk to eachother.

Then back in the day of ipchains I used to setup a script of some sort with the above info in it, so that when you rebooted your router would work. Is there a way to write this to the default table upon boot?


Thanks in advance,

Brandon


PS, I only need to know how to use iptables in the first example, I can figure out everything else from there.
