Static router from NIC to NIC

[lovswr]

Hello, I have a Fedora Core 4 box that I use as my router. I am on Bellsouth DSL & have a Westell modem that I have set to bridged mode. Furthermore, I have changed the Westell's default ip from 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.1.5. Eth0 in my FC4 box is directly connected to the Westell. Eth1 (192.168.1.1) & eth2 (192.168.2.1) are connected, respectively, to 2 linksys routers (one 4 port & one wireless G). How do I build a route from the eth1 (1.1 network) to eth0 so that when I type 192.168.1.5 (or better yet just the word westell) so that I can access the http server contained within the westell modem? Is this even possible as my network is set up or would I have to completely change all ip address (say start using 10.0.0.0 or something like that)? TIA.

I'll risk being wrong just to see if the parrots can come up with the right answer.

The Westall modem has marking on the plugs as e1 - e4 but these are not really NIC, they are ports and you simple plug in the several computers and do internet sharing with each geting a new 192.168.1.nnn ip.

Yes no? According to your specs you are get 192.168.2.nnn which would make the above false and every shared commputer would be a completely seperate sub-net.

Since 192.168. is a no routable ip set you must be correct.

And all the so called router brainiacs are shooting blanks.

Whch way does it really work?

Maybe it depends on the way the router was mfg'ed and the ISP and wheather they control it or you control it.

Life is fun, but complex.

OK, come on in experts.
