ip routing



i am using redhat linux 9, in this box their are two lan intefaces.

eth0 ====> lan
192.168.100.100
255.255.255.0

eth1 ====> internet
static ip
255.255.255.0
59.144.168.226 (gateway)

i want to define a gateway 59.144.168.226 for my lan machines 192.168.100.0/255.255.255.0

so

first i enable ip forward

echo "1" /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

second
route ..................... ???

please help me

you probably mean "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
your internal lan cant have a public address as a gateway i think , if the lan needs to talk to the outside, one way is to use masquerading at 192.168.100.100 so the gateway needs to be 192.168.100.100 i guess ...

correction:

you can certainly have the lan subnet 192.168.100.0 have 59.144.168.226 as a default gateway.

the command would be something like this:
