Hi,
The description of your network is not clear
I need to connect to a machine through a particular gateway since
the machine will accept connection only if it is coming from that
gateways IP. I have two connections of that one is fast and I use that
regularly but remote server wont accept connection from that gateway.
why not ? are you doing a NAT with the gateway IP ? How else will the
server know you are accessing from the gateway IP?
I added route to xxx.com to use gateway 202.71.147.xxx
#route add -host xxx.com gw 202.71.147.xxx
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
Does not work because your gateway IP must be in the same segment as your
host .
It is logical , think of it this way
|--------E
|----------D--------|
|-----------B--------|
A-------|
|-----------C--------|
|
|(Internet)
To go to D you specify that A should go through B.
If I specify that A can reach E through D , it will get confused as to how
to reach D first .
(that is what you are trying to do ) .
Even if you have specified that A should go through B to reach D , you will
not be able to
assign D as a gw on your host as it is not directly reachable from A.
Dont know about Win2k though .
Hope this helps
bye

Hi all,
I need to connect to a machine through a particular gateway since
the machine will accept connection only if it is coming from that
gateways IP. I have two connections of that one is fast and I use that
regularly but remote server wont accept connection from that gateway.
My IP address is 192.168.4.66 and usually use the gateway
192.168.4.16. But when connecting to site xxx.com I need to use
gateway 202.71.147.xxx. I already have this routing table.
# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.4.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.4.16 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
eth0
I added route to xxx.com to use gateway 202.71.147.xxx
#route add -host xxx.com gw 202.71.147.xxx
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
What is wrong with this. I can visit the site through browser but cant
ping as it is blocking.
BTW. In win2k just setting the gateway to 202.71.147.xxx works.
I changed the original IP address and hostnames.
