ubuntu router for 2 networks

[Master-JCF]

Hi,

i'm new here. So please be a little bit patient.
I searched this topic about 2 days and couldn't found any solution for me. So I want to try it here.

I have the following configuration:

Gateway:
192.168.151.1

Workstation:
192.168.150.10

Interfaces:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.151.55
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.151.0
broadcast 192.168.151.255
gateway 192.168.151.1

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.150.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.150.0
broadcast 192.168.150.255
gateway ?.?.?.?

resolve.conf:
nameserver IP_OF_NS1
nameserver ÎP_OF_NS2

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
1

gateway x.x.151.1 is working and Ubuntu can reach internet over eth0

What do I have to do, to connect my workstation to the gateway?
I don't know what I do have to set as gateway for eth1 or what else I must do.

any ideas?

Can you draw out a simple diagram of exactly how you have the machines connected together?

[Master-JCF]

is this ok?



192.168.150.x should be connected to 151.x with no limits. And it should work in both directions.

Based on assumption, you need the following:

1. You need static router on the internet-router for 192.168.151.x to communicate 192.168.150.x.
2. Run

# /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

on ubuntu server. That was assuming you didn't have any DROP policy.

[Lars Noodén]

Will that go both directions, or just one?

[Master-JCF]

... That was assuming you didn't have any DROP policy.

It's a blank new ubuntu 12.04.3 server.
Only OpenSSH is installed and I have configured nothing else but eth0/1 (as seen above)

1. I mean static route. Your internet-router should have the option to configure that. You need to specify the network(192.168.150.0)/netmask(255.255.255.0) and gateway (should be your eth0 ip on your ubuntu server).
2. Should enable 192.168.150.x to reach 192.168.151.x. the iptables command basically route all unknown traffic to upstream router(internet-router)

[Master-JCF]

I tried some configurations and it looks like it now works for some tasks.

1. I did the iptables from nebileix

2. I set the gateway of eth1 to 192.168.151.1

3.
At the workstation I set the following:
IP: 192.168.150.10
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.150.2 (ubuntu)

Internet, Windows-Update etc. work fine.

But: ping from 151.x <-> 150.x still doesn't work. But that's not so important to me at the moment. Would be great to solve this too, but for now internet on 150.x is ok

2. I set the gateway of eth1 to 192.168.151.1 <=== shouldn't be required.

But: ping from 151.x <-> 150.x still doesn't work. But that's not so important to me at the moment. Would be great to solve this too, but for now internet on 150.x is ok <== consult your internet-router documentation on how to configure static route.

[Master-JCF]

1. I mean static route. Your internet-router should have the option to configure that.

I don't have access to the internet-router. So no option.

but: ping from 150 to 151 works now (at first I only tired hostnames instead of IPs....). Remote-Desktop also works
ping form 151 to 150 is still not possible.
