Genesis: How do I add a route to another network?
« on: December 23, 2005, 02:55:00 PM »
My A1200 is has an IP address of 10.0.2.178. It connects via an Ethernet cable to my iBook, which uses an IP of 10.0.2.150 on its Ethernet port. Communication between the two works great. The iBook's wireless card has an IP address of 10.0.1.150, and the router is 10.0.1.1. The iBook can see both the Amiga and the Internet. The problem I am having is getting the Amiga to connect to the Internet.

I have set the default gateway on the Amiga to 10.0.2.150, and the DNS server to the same. I have enable Internet sharing on the iBook. I think the problem is that the iBook isn't forwarding DNS requests from 10.0.2.150 to 10.0.1.1. So really I want to specify 10.0.1.1 as the DNS and Gateway on the Amiga. In order to do this I need to add a route to the 10.0.1.x network on the Amiga, but I can't figure out how to do this.

I have looked in the settings for Genesis and found the Networks pane, but can't figure out how I specify what interface I want to use for the network. I can't find any docs in the Genesis drawer  :-(

@Thomas
I cannot ping 10.0.1.1 from the Amiga. I can only ping the 10.0.2.x network. I have already set the default gateway and DNS on the Amiga to 10.0.2.150 (the Ethernet port on the iBook) but it does not appear to be routing packets between the networks. That is why I had the idea of setting a static route to the 10.0.1.x network on the Amiga.

@Zac67
I cannot connect the Amiga directly to the router. I have to use wireless, and due to cost I don't want to get a wireless bridge for the Amiga.

Ping tests carried out from iBook:
ping 10.0.1.1 (router) - success
ping 10.0.1.150 (iBook wireless) - success
ping 10.0.2.150 (iBook Ethernet) - success
ping 10.0.2.178 (Amiga) - success

Ping tests carried out from Amiga:
ping 10.0.2.150 (iBook Ethernet) - success
ping 10.0.1.150 (iBook wireless) - failure

So the problem lies with routing between the 10.0.1.x and 10.0.2.x networks, right?
