Genesis: How do I add a route to another network?

[Thomas]

The problem I am having is getting the Amiga to connect to the Internet.

Are you sure that you have a problem with the internet connection ? I guess the connection is fine and it is only a matter of specifying the correct DNS.

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 don't think, this is correct. You don't need a gateway to 10.0.1.x if your iBook-router is the default gateway. Just check if you can ping 10.0.1.1 and if it works, set 10.0.1.1 as the DNS. That's all.

If there is only one gateway, all request have to go this way. The iBook has to take care to forward the packages correctly. Use traceroute to check if it works.

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

Yes, that's right. And the one who does the routing between 10.0.1.x and 10.0.2.x is the iBook.

As I said before, try traceroute. I guess it will show that it goes to the iBook but does not get any further. So the problem is the iBook, not the routing table in Genesis.

However, there might be one routing-table related problem, but it is not Genesis' table but the router's table. You might need to tell the router that the 10.0.2.x network is accessible through 10.0.1.150. Otherwise the ping comes to the router but the router does not know where to reply to.
