Re: Forward 2 networks

This is the wrong forum - your question is about routing - but I 
believe I can answer for you.

Based on what you say, I believe you have two subnets:

192.168.2.0/24
192.168.3/24

The default gateway for 192.168.2.0/24 is 192.168.2.1, which I assume 
is your access to the Internet.

Hosts on your network 192.168.3.0/24 can forward traffic to 
192.168.3.7 as the gateway to 192.168.2.0/24 and, more generally, as 
the default gateway to any network/Internet.

You must enable routing on the PC joining the two networks.

The other half of the routing solution is that you must tell your 
current default gateway 192.168.2.1 that a network 192.168.3.0/24 is 
reachable via 192.168.2.7.

You can accomplish this easily with static routes at your dual-
connected PC and 192.168.2.1. You could enable a routing protocol at 
the PC and 192.168.2.1 but that is probably overkill.

Hi,

I've been trying to figure this one out but am getting a little lost
and confused.

I have 2 NICs:

eth0 192.168.2.7
eth1 192.168.3.7

each has it's own 10/100 switch.

On eth0, 192.168.2.7, I have a small network of PC happily using NAT
with a default gateway of 192.168.2.1

I'd like to forward traffic for eth1, 192.168.3.7 out eth0, 192.68.2.7

With one NIC I'm confident but with two, or more, I'm lost.
I have checked out Lartc but am still unsure, perhaps I should be
posting this there?

Please help.
Many thanks.
Regards,
Rudi
