Topic: HELP- Multi subnet network

[Walt]

I have a two subnets 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x
my subnets are separated by a router .
I would like to configure E-Smith to except the second subnet but I don't know what the proper syntax should look like in the files. I received some advice from Charlie Brady unfortunately I'm not familiar with editing Linux configuration files. I can use vi and move through the file system so I know enough to be dangerous. Could some one help me with the syntax in the files? If it’s a lot of changes just getting me in the right direction would work. If there are some rules to follow.

Thanks
Walt

Walt,

Thanks for the post!  You might want to wait and use version 4.0 which will gracefully handle adding networks.  

Cheers!

If you can't do this yourself, you should be able to find a local Linux enthusiast or guru who can do it for you or show you how to do it, for some fee great, small or insignificant. I'm sorry to be less generous than
I'd like to be, but I'm trying to find time to contribute to the next release. I'm sure you'll understand.

Charlie,
Thanks for the advice. I had trouble doing it at work but I managed to get the hole thing going at home. The only differance is at home I'm running E-Smith 2.? and at work its 3.1 . I did every thing the same but the syntex in the masq file is differant. in E-Smith 2.x it looks like this.
ipfwadm -F -A masquerade -S 192.168.2.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0

and in E-Smith 3.1 the word ipfwadm is replaced with ipchain.
On monday I am going to work to start all over and try to copy what I did at home at work. I'm going to use the ipchain because thats what is already there. I hope thats not the problem.

Well thanks!!!
Walt
