Hi Schalk Thanx for your reply. I got it solved now. Of course it was the winNT machine at 212 that had a problem with the network card driver, such that it was ignoring about 90% of the packets. I upgraded the driver for the card and it started working.. gee Thanx again Chris On Wed, 12 Apr 2000 17:40:36 +0200, Schalk Klee wrote:
Hi,
I assume that the .211 address belongs to another machine. What is the IP address of the Ethernet side of the router ? Do you use NAT on the Cisco router or masquirading on the SuSE box (gateway/dialup server)?
What subnet mask are you using and what is the subnet mask that the ISP is using to route to you? I assume with a 210.x.x.x address you would both be using 255.255.255.0, but just check with the ISP.
What happens if you set the default gateway on the .212 machine to the cisco router's IP for the ethernet port ?
Let me know and I will try and assist.
Cheers Schalk Klee

Hi Chris
Thanx for your thoughts. I can ping out to anywhere, but I can't ping back from anywhere to teh 212 machine. Traceroute to the x.x.211 machine works fine, and that machine is on the inside of the router (cisco 801). But if I traceroute to x.x.212 it times out on the outside of the router (isp side). This suggests to me that the ISP is not routing my complete ip range, but they say they are.,
What next?
TIA
Chris

I have a SuSE 6.3 box operating as a dialup server to the internet. When
dialin they are assigned ip's in the range 192.168.x.x using ipchains to route
through our permanent ip of 210.x.x.211. This works perfectly.
I have another machine on the local LAN with an IP of 210.x.x.212. From
machine I can access the internet by setting the 210.x.x.211 machine as
gateway. This works with no ipchains set.
My problem is that from the internet if I dialin from any other isp, I can ping the 210.x.x.211 gateway, so I know the packets are getting through the internet and landing inside our network, but I cannot ping the 210.x.x.212 machine. Something must be blocking it. As I mentioned above I can ping from 212 to the internet so it seems my routing is correct, but i can't ping in the reverse (from the internet to
the user them this the the
212 machine).
Have you tried doing a traceroute to 212 machine, to see how far the ping would get? This may tell you whether it's reaching the 211 machine or not even getting out of the current machine.
Hope that helps, Chris
