Title: Linux Networking Boogaloo
Post by: DirtyHarry on 16/07/2012, 12:49 PM
Well, I'm stumped.

I'm trying to set up a small virtual linux network within VMware. The network consists of one Leaf-Bering machine as a pretend ISP gateway, another Bering machine as an internal router/firewall and a thrid internal Ubuntu server.

I can't for the life of me find any guides to help me set up routing correctly. I can nat the Ubuntu box behind the firewall and everyone can ping each other fine and dandy, but I don't want to be doing it with nat. All attempts to do it with route or ip route are not working. The ubuntu server can ping the two interfaces on the firewall but not the gateway. If any of you clever networking magicians could point me towards a "Making Static Routing Work on Linux for Nooblets" guide that would be seriously helpful.

What version of Ubuntu Server?  12.04?  had massive issues with networking on running 12.04 recently,   TBH i would suggest using Debian Squeeze 6.0.5 for any servers

Not sure if its the same as centos but u tried IP tables because that's how i setup a firewall/gateway between a server and a client.
