I have really tried to figure this out but something eludes me
i have a router connected between a FC3 box 192.168.2.1 router 192.168.2.25 FC3 eth0
the router is also connected to "computer A"...192.168.2.52
the FC3 machine eth1 192.168.1.2 is connected thru a switch to "computer B" 192.168.1.5
Computer A and FC3 see each other and the router
Computer B sees the FC3 box
I cant get 192.168.1.* to see 192.168.2.* thru the fc3
If I am using the following command correctly I can ping from eth1 to eth0
[root@localhost ~]# ping -I 192.168.1.2 192.168.2.25
PING 192.168.2.25 (192.168.2.25) from 192.168.1.2 : 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.2.25: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.148 ms

root@localhost ~]# route -n

169.254.0.0/16 dev eth1 scope link

AndyGreen pointed out that there was some software that would take care of this, however, I would like to understand the basics first......I have read many many many hours on this
Maybe there is some other option or service I need to enable ?
Thank you

thirty views and not a clue eh ?
I think my router is stupid and doesnt know how to address anything other then one network.
I gave up.

I've read this post once or twice, but it's still a little foggy. Describe what you're trying to accomplish. How about a simple diagram?

Re-read your original post for errors. Perhaps re-write / re-organize to improve clarity.

Why do you have it set up this way ?

Simple easy to configure and also the routing table in youyr router will configure everything for you! See image


Router supplies IP addresses to the PC's The router gets its OUTSIDE IP address from your ISP
(Internet Service Provider)

Simply with 2 or more Fedora PC's open nautilus select file connect to server choose ssh from the drop box type in the IP address from the other FC PC enter a home folder and that users name
click connect. You'll then get a icon on the desktop double click it enter the password for THE USER ON THE OTHER PC (you know the name you supplied in the connection set up ?)

Viola!!! connected

if not make sure sshd is running on both PC's

/sbin/chkconfig sshd on
/sbin/service sshd start


One more thing Why do you have *Random* IP addresses.

pick a number for your router say 192.168.1.60
pc 1 has the IP address then 192.168.1.61
pc 2 has the IP address then 192.168.1.62
pc 3 has the IP address then 192.168.1.63

Notice a pattern here You'll be able to Identify which pc is which simply with IP address

Hell even set them static !!! to make life easier!

Damm My spelling sucks tonight!

It includes a drawing of the network.
I wanted it this way because computer B would be immune to screwups in the linux box until i get futher along the learning curve. If im trying to do it the hard way without ssh then ok, I thought I was learnng something setting it up this way and gaining some insight to the process...automated processes are cool but i dont learn much about how it works

Thank for your interest
