RE: [PLUG] Bridging two networks using linux

["Bradley Molnar" <brad-current@litech.org>]

ok, cool, thanks, that actually worked (which is quite cool for me).

Now, I have another question for the group.

Is there anything stopping me from setting this new section to be 172.20.1.
with the old section being 172.20.0. and then setting the subnet mask to be
255.255.0.0?  Would that work properly, or do I not remember my networking
class very well?

As a side note, it wouldn't have been possible to set one card on the laptop
to be something like 172.20.0.55 and the other to 172.20.0.56 and expect
them to bridge at all, would it?

thanks

also check /etc/sysctl.conf  (at least it is in 7.2{3})

Ipforwarding would be more than suffice, it is actually what I am looking
for.

I was just able to get the machine up and running with the two cards on
separate networks (the wireless on 172.20. and the wired on 192.168.).
However, Redhat8 does not have /etc/network in which to add the forwarding
line.  I did, however, find a /etc/sysconfig/network which might be the
right file.  But, I'm not sure of the line I need to place in there.

thanks
