[MLB-WIRELESS] Routing help.

[Peter Buncle]

Morning Mark,

Yes you should have sepaprate subnets & use say a 192.168 subnet 
for your internal lan.

That way you can have a default gateway out one interface & just route 
10.10.0.0/255.255.0.0 out the wireless interface.

Shorewall is a common linux firewall product , but the config 
can be some fun so you'll learn a few things.

Cheers

Peter

Hello,

I have managed to get 2 lan cards working in my one of my linux boxes.

Now I have eth0 and eth1, both work as I have tested them seperatly by
making 
each the default interfacxe and pinging out of it.

Now that I have the ability to route, I want to set things up to have
the 
wireless network on one card and my home lan on the other protecting my
home 
lan with a firewall.

One thing I am just not sure of is routing. I know what it does and what
it is 
for but getting the finer points are a bit confusing.  I am using my
Melb 
wireless alloted ip address throughout my whole lan, wired and wireless.

Should I have seperate subnets for wired and wireless?

Any assistance, pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Mark
