Okay, maybe I needed sleep. But it really helped to hear stuff like: DNS will hang the route command without the -n switch and the reference to POSTROUTING/MASQ, this dummy had this in iptables: (em1 is the link/interface for the second machine) /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o em1 -s 192.1

why should you need a default-route set MANUALLY? configure the standrad-gateway which is your router in the network-configuration and you are done nobody on this world ever needed the route-command on a ordinary client and if the client si using DHCP it would even get the standard-gateway [root

not sure what you're saying...I just have a default route defined on the machine I'd like routed. The router has all the iptables stuff. When I type route on the non router it hangs, then after some time comes back with the default route to the router and canNOT get beyond the subnet. To my knowled

I tried postrouting/masquerade in iptables on the router and still the client hang on route command. Its like the client cant see the router. But ping works fine in both directions. If I try and ping a known address on the greater internet, nothing. So there is no route beyond the subnet of 192.168

I have a problems using a patch cable and trying to route though another machine. The client is a minimum installed machine and the router is just a simple dhcp desktop. Is there some packages that *dont* come with the minimum install that would keep you from getting a simple route. Tried everythin
