Router (gateway) on different subnet

[ttheron]

Hi all,

I am fairly new to Linux and trying to set up a LAMPS server to connect via the company router. The network looks like this:

Ubuntu LAMPS Server
IP address: 192.168.11.1
|
|
Gateway (Cisco Router) Ip address: 192.168.10.3
|
|
Windows Server (DNS Server) 192.168.10.10

I know many would say it is not the right thing to use two subnets, but that is just the way the network is set up and I have to live with it.

My setup on Ubuntu as below:

ifconfig:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:23:54:6f:64:0b
inet addr:192.168.11.1 Bcast:192.168.11.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:1093752 (1.0 MB) TX bytes:1093752 (1.0 MB)

route:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.11.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 192.168.10.3 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

interface file:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.11.1
netmask 255.255.254.0
network 192.168.11.0
broadcast 192.168.11.255
gateway 192.168.10.3

I have also executed
route add -host 192.168.10.3 eth0
route add default gw 192.168.10.3 eth0
as per many suggestions I found by browsing, but to no avail.

I cannot ping the gateway at all.

Any suggestions on where I am still going wrong?

Thanks
Tom

i dont think that would work that way.. you would need to setup an ip of the form 192.168.10.x

Looking at the following discussion it seems possible, but it doesn't work for me.

What the link appears to have done was change the subnet mask to put both addresses in the same subnet. I don't have access to my handy subnet calculator, but I suspect you need a few more bits in the local net.

I've spoken to our network manager, and seems the router is not correctly set up to do NAT/PAT from the x.x.10.x to x.x.11.x network. Once they fixed that, I'll be able to configure my gateway setting to an x.x.11.x gateway, as the router will then present as a x.x.11.x VLAN.

Thanks for your input.
