Dear Sir,

I am planning to use a RHEL5 installed computer as a internet connection sharing device.

I mean I want to share the internet connection through it

I have installed 2 Lan cards in it eth0 and eth1

eth0 Internet

eth1 LAN

eth0 configuration as follows ;

Ipaddress : 115.252.64.187 Subnet : 255.255.255.240 Gateway : 115.252.64.177

I wrote the following entries in Vim /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 202.138.96.2 (preferred DNS Server) nameserver 202.138.103.2 (secondary DNS server) :q!

then

eth1

ipaddress : 192.168.1.1 subnet : 255.255.255.0 gateway : 192.168.1.1

(I am confused which gateway I need to use in the above scenario)

I am unable to ping to my lan and I am able to connect to the Internet.

Please let me know the sollution for this.

Thanks in advance.

regards,

G.Gopi Krishna
