1 Hi,
2
3 I got my system put together. I have booted a Gentoo 10 CD. This is
4 the setup as far as the network goes.
5
6 Internet
7
8 DSL modem
9
10 Gentoo rig named smoker
11
12 New rig, no name yet. Lightening will work for now. ;-)
13
14 I got it working from internet to modem to Gentoo rig as usual. I also
15 can ping, BY IP, my Gentoo rig smoker from lightening. I cannot get
16 smoker to resolve the traffic from Lightening to the internet. When I
17 try to ping google, it sits there for a bit and I see traffic from
18 Lightening on gkrellm but it never forwards to the internet. After a
19 bit, it says " ping: unknown host google.com".
20
21 I'm pretty sure the issue is smoker. I went through this before and my
22 old script doesn't work. Basically, smoker isn't forwarding the traffic
23 from Lightening to the internet. I been following the home router
24 howto and even turned the commands they list into s new script. Still
25 no workey.

27 This is from smoker:

29 root@smoker / # route
30 Kernel IP routing table
31 Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
32 Iface
33 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 204 0 0 eth2
34 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1 0 0 eth0
35 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
36 default 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 204 0 0 eth2
37 root@smoker / #
38
39 I think this is the problem. Networking has always been a pain in the
40 but for me. eth0 is the network for lightening to smoker. eth2 goes
41 from Gentoo to the DSL modem.
42
43 Need help. Ideas? Suggestions? Questions?
