To the Aironet list: I am new to the list and new to Linux but have been learning it as fast = as possible. I am having a problem with getting an Aironet 4800 Wireless card to talk = to a wired EtherLink III card (both in the same laptop) to talk to each = other. I have tried manipulating the routing tables and also using = Ipchains. I have read all the documentation I could find, which = includes: the man pages, ethernet how-tos, ipchains how-tos, and = masquerading how-tos. If anyone can give me some sort of hint or way to = get these cards to talk to each other I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Dan Neal |

Do both cards work? Can the laptop talk to other hosts on both the wired and wireless networks? The only problem you're having is forwarding/routing between the two networks? I'll assume the answer to these questions is "yes". > I have tried manipulating the routing tables and also using Ipchains. Is forwarding turned on? Try doing (as root): echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward Your startup scripts should be setting this on boot if your machine should be forwarding. -Nathan -- +-------------------+---------------------+------------------------+ | Nathan Lutchansky | lut...@li... | Lithium Technologies | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | I dread success.
