Hi all, I guess this is a very basic question, but I do not get anything googling. I have several linux machines here in my office, and I'd like that all sorts of connection amongst these machines do not pass through the general gateway, but go directly from one to the other. How can I do that? Thanks, Sergio

Assumption: There is a physical path between all machines that does not go through the general gateway [or if it does, it goes in and out of the LAN side of the gateway without passing between the LAN and the WAN sides of the gateway]. If this is the case, then your setup most probably already meets your requirement. Google on 'netmask' and 'subnet' and 'IP address'. Basically all tcp/ip nodes are routers, even if they have only 1 network interface. S can route to D if: IP(S) [bitwise AND] netmask(S) = IP(D) [bitwise AND] netmask(S) Similar requirement for D to route back to S. Of course they must be on the same media, with or without hubs. hth Vince Littler

Assuming all the machines are on the same subnet, this will happen automatically. The gateway will only be used for connections which cannot be directly sent. Check out the Networking-Overview-HOWTO for more info on this sort of stuff. The howto should be in /usr/share/doc/howto/en/html/Networking-Overview-HOWTO.html If it's not then install the necessary howto packages with yast. HTH Dylan

Sergio I used sux in a terminal then typed lisa, then used runlevel editor in kde to setup access on my lan.

Thanks to everybody. That was me being stupid (happens quite often.) I had checked the IP's of two of the computers and they were on the same subnet, but I assumed that the third one was also, and it wasn't. That is why I could not understand why traceroute was showing the gateway in the middle! Sergio On Mon, May 31, 2004 at 01:42:05PM +0100, Sergio Dominguez said:

Assuming they're all on the same local network, they should aready be able to. What makes you think they're not?
