Dual network configuration
On 28 Jun 2006, in the Usenet newsgroup comp.os.linux.networking, in article newsgroup comp.os.linux.misc in article
Please don't multi-post. This article is on topic in comp.os.linux.networking and therefore should NOT be posted to comp.os.linux.misc, which is for those subjects that are not on topic in other Linux newsgroups.
the following words to the mbuttes incomp.os.linux.misc...: This is fine. GNU-Linux doesn't care much about whether it's installed in primary or logical parbreastions. ;-) Did you... (a) check themd5sumson the.isofile before you burned it to...
Normally, I wouldn't bring up the third and fourth interface, as they rarely are going to offer a benefit worth the hbuttle of configuring them.
Correct. In the normal use in Linux, the word "GATEWAY" refers to that external router that leads to the world. While it is possible to set that up (see the Adv-Routing-HOWTO), it isn't common. Do not confuse the term 'GATEWAY' (to the world) with 'gateway' as used in the 'route' command and meaning a remote host leading to some other network, or the ways microsoft uses the word 'Gateway' which is quite inconstant even in the same windoze routing table.
WTF? Do these Linux people actually think that Linux and it's slopware programs can actually compete with the likes of Nuendo and Protools? I was in Guitar Center today and there...
Here is a more normal Linux routing table using gateways.
Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 95017 eth0 192.168.2.0 192.168.1.6 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 1168 plus 15 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 420 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.248 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 2004 eth0
Here, the local net has two routers. One, 192.168.1.6, is the gateway to another local network. The second, 192.168.1.248, is the gateway to the world. To talk to hosts on the 192.168.1.0, no gateway is needed because they are directly connected to this host, and it can talk directly to them.
