linux help!!

i installed another NIC in my FC4 unit for the purpose of learning squid. the eth0 to the internet and the eth1 to the private network.

the eth0 to the internet works fine but with the eth1 i cant even ping the other workstation (station1) connected to it and vice-versa (station1 to eth1)

eth0 is 192.168.1.11 255.255.255.0
eth1 is 192.168.0.254 255.255.255.0

station1 is 192.168.0.69 255.255.255.0

i checked the cables and connectors and im sure it has no problem.

when i pinged from the network of eth0 (192.168.1.x) it works fine. but when i pinged from the eth1 (192.168.0.x) to the station1 (192.168.0.69) it says "Destination Host Unreachable".

do i missing something? is it with the ipchains or iptables stuff? i tried to google these 2 but seems its still confusing to me.

your help guys greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance

Hmm, are you sure you could ping from 192.168.1.x to station? They are on a different subnet, do you have a default gateway set? How are they connected, please describe the connection and the products you use. Also some output from ping would be good. Also some output from ifconfig would be nice.

no i mean i can ping from eth0 (192.168.1.11) to the modem/router which is 192.168.1.1, so i could be able to use internet.

modem/router(192.168.1.1)

iptables list?

i am using linksys switch so that i could be able to connect more stations

the iptables i posted was the default setup, no changes made yet

patience pls. :oops:

and how would the ping command know that you have 2 NICs and the 192.168.0.x network exists or you have had setup more than 1 networks on that FC4 unit. what the the stuffs involved.

As reaper noted earlier, do you have a default gateway set? It's probably set to eth0. You will need to add a static route so that your local network is accessible.
