[Gllug] Numpty Networking

[Darren Beale]

Hi

I'm trying without success to link two networks together by means of
two machines with 2 NICs and a crossover cable, as illustrated below:

Network A 10.0.1.0/24
      |
      | eth0: 10.0.1.110
      |
------|-----------
|
| Machine A
|
| Kernel IP routing table
| Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
| 10.0.6.0        10.0.7.2        255.255.255.0   UG    0      0        0 eth1
| 10.0.1.0        0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
| 0.0.0.0         10.0.1.1        0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0
|
------------------
      |
      | eth1: 10.0.7.2
      |
[Crossover cable]
      |
      | eth1: 10.0.7.1
      |
------|------------
|    Machine B     |
| Routing tables   |
| untouched so far |
-------------------
      |
      | eth0: 10.0.6.101
      |

Network B 10.0.6.0/24


Note Machine A, I've created a static route to 10.0.6.0/24 by use of
the command:

route add -net 10.0.6.0/24 gw 10.0.7.2

So from A -> B I would hope I could ping something on 10.0.6.0/24 from
A but I can't (it just sits there), so I've obviously got something
wrong, but what? The only thing that I can do is ping 10.0.7.[1|2]
from the respective machines
