Topic: Routing lan to a diffrent router

[soprom]

I'm looking for the proper way to have sme7 use a different gateway for its LAN traffic...

The actual routes send LAN traffic to eth1 instead of eth0:

[root@smeserver ~]# route -n
Table de routage IP du noyau
Destination     Passerelle      Genmask         Indic Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.5.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
172.16.0.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
0.0.0.0         172.16.0.1      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth1

I need to have 192.168.5.0 going through 192.168.5.1, with sme having IP 192.168.5.2

Any help?!

192.168.5.* traffic does not go through any router. That is your LAN, and all 192.168.5.* addresses should be attached via a switch (or hub) to your LAN NIC (eth0) which has address 192.168.5.2.

If what I have said doesn't make sense to you, then I suggest that you find and read a tutorial on IP network addressing.

BTW, your LAN traffic *is* sent to eth0, not to eth1.

I understand what you say but the machine doesn't seem to behave like so.

[root@smeserver ~]# ping 192.168.5.1
PING 192.168.5.1 (192.168.5.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.5.2 icmp_seq=0 Destination Host Unreachable

Thanks for clarifying I didn't have to mess with this.
I'll recheck the setup. There might be a defective NIC controling the LAN.

traceroute to 192.168.5.1 (192.168.5.1), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
 1  smeserver (192.168.5.2)  3000.059 ms !HIcmp checksum is wrong

There might be a defective NIC controling the LAN.

Or cable, or switch. or network interface on whatever is at 192.168.5.1.
