[SLUG] Routing problem...perhaps

["Alister Waller" <alister@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,

frustrating day here for me.

Scenario: I have a WIN 98 PC at a remote depot. I am setting up a Linux
machine there to dialup another linux machine which is their main server. I
want to win98 PC to use the linux machine as a gateway.

I have done something similar here with one linux machine dialing into our
ISP and we all use that as our gateway..works fine.


I have the remote Linux machine (lets call it R) set up to auto answer etc
fine....I can dial in from a windows machine and access the things I need to
access and print back to the dialed in PC.
I have the Linux gateway machine (lets call it G) set up to dial in using
ppp, which it does fine. I can access the stuff I need to access.
The win PC (lets call it W) can see the G machine on the network and visa
versa.

here is the problem:

I cannot access R from W and visa versa.

here is the result of some pinging;

R:	can ping G's ppp IP address
	cannot ping G's eth0 IP address. 	error: destination host unreachable
	cannot ping W at all.		error: destination host unreachable

G:	can ping W's IP address
	Can ping  G's eth0 IP address
	can ping R's IP
	cannot ping its own ppp IP address...well it can but with huge packet loss.

W:	can ping G's ppp IP address
	can ping G's eth0 IP address
	cannot ping R's IP address

Ip chains is set up as in my previous email to basically allow everyone on
the same subnet.
Oh, the subnet is all the same.

any idea where to look?? I can't see for all the trees.
