[linux-help] Re: lan on a machine...

[Weqaar Ali Janjua <wxjanjua@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
   Well you dont needs scripts as such..just use ipchains, ifconfig and route 
for that. Just make three virtual interfaces excluding one actual physical 
interface with ifconfig...eth0:0, eth0:1, eth0:2, In this way u'll have 4 
interfaces including eth0 , now give them IP-addresses like eth0 is 
192.168.0.1 , eth0:0 is 192.168.0.2, eth0:1 192.168.1.1 and eth0:2 
192.168.1.2, In this way ur 2 interfaces belong to one network segment and the 
other two to 2 different networks...now use route to make proper routes 
between networks and interfaces
be sure to execute "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" in order to enable 
ip forwarding between interfaces...IF u want to route packets sourced some of 
ur new created interfaces as eth0:2 to some public IP then u have to 
masquerade over ur live interface..lemme know if this helps.....well if it 
does'nt help just send me the IP-Network addresses u want to route between 
I'll write u a script.
