[opensuse] tricky routing?
Hello, I have a problem I can't solve simply * My ISP uses for it's modem a 192.168.0.X network in which I can only master the X part. The modem itself is 192.168.0.254 * I use several SMC wiki/ethernet devices which have default adress of 192.168.2.1 * the two devices are linked on the same eth hardware * my computer is a laptop, I like to use networkanager... if I use fixed IP, I can setup two networks on the same card, eth0 and eth0:1, for example, one in 195.168.2, the other in 192.168. 0, so I can access both devices. I don't know how to do this with networkmanager. Setting special routes don"t seems to work any idea? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I assume your isp provides a modem with dhcp? Is there a reason you want to place the wikis on different subnets? -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

sorry I mispelled it's not wiki but wifi (wlan) I have a wifi router after the FAI modem the wifi router have a default adress and can only be reached by it when resetted or new jdd -- Jean-Daniel Dodin Président du CULTe www.culte.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

thats exactly what I need to do, but as the default adress is not in my isp subnet sheme, I have to go to yast, change the net setting from network manager to ifup, change dhcp to fixed, give a 192.168.2.x adress, and once the setting done undo all this. I had yesterday to do this on a remote site (through a phone call to the local user, giving he have no more internet access) and it's not easy. I would like to be able to use internet and at the same time configure the device, that mean acces through firefox both 192.168.0.254 and 192.168.2.1, without disturbing networkmanager thanks -- Jean-Daniel Dodin Président du CULTe www.culte.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

So, in essence, what you need is to temporarily add a secondary ip to your network device, in order to access the SMC device? If so, then this;

- is not neccessary at all.

Explaining that kind of stuff over the *can* be something of a challenge ;)

If I understand the situation correctly, then basically all you have to do is; ~> su # ip addr add 192.168.2.13/24 dev eth0 Then, as user; firefox http://192.168.2.1 and do whatever needs to be done on the SMC device. If you want to 'clean up' when you're done, just # ip addr del 192.168.2.13/24 dev eth0 as root. The above will work when both devices are on the same 'physical' network. There is no routing required. Since both devices are in the same 'lan' (192.168.2.0/24) they can communicate directly. Also, this will not affect NM.
