Thanks for the tip. I'm getting closer, but not sure of the correct syntax.
home computers (4) firewall wireless internet
192.168.2.* bridge (**) ^
^ ^ 4.2.2.1 |
| | ^ |
| eth1 | eth0 | |
--------------------------------------------------------------
192.168.2.1 4.2.2.2 (**)
** - IP address' to protect the guilty
What I want to to, is to change eth0 from my ISP's address 4.2.2.2 to
a "private " address 192.168.1.2
So far, from the command line and in /etc/network.interfaces, I can
bring up eth0 using the following;
ifconfig eth0 4.2.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 4.2.2.128 up
route add default gw 4.2.2.3
this will allow my access to the internet.
I've been pointed to the program - iproute - which appears to get me
closer than I was yesterday at this time.
I've been trying to use the following, with no success;
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 up
ip route add 4.2.2.1/32 (bridge) dev eth0
ip route add default via 4.2.2.1 dev eth0
I've tried pointing to the ISP's gateway IP address' but it complains
"network unavailable"
