I'm very confused, so if I'm way off base in anything I write, forgive
me and correct me.
I have a /28 network that I need to route through/using a 2.2 kernel
machine. The machine that will act as a router has a main ip of
x.x.67.227, and the subnet I'm trying to route is x.x.72.208/28
(addresses 209-215).
I thought if I added x.x.72.209 to the "router" machine, and then
modified my route table that it would pass the packets as I expected..
'ip route add x.x.72.208/28 via x.x.72.209'
That command succeeds, and indeed the route table then shows
x.x.72.208/28 via x.x.72.209
but trying to ping x.x.72.210 (the only machine on the new network so
far) from outside results in
Reply from x.x.67.227: Destination host unreachable.
if I ping that .210 machine from the router, it works. (with or
without the route line.. )
I've tried in vein to search for info on ip route, and I find plenty
but, nothing that I've been able to really apply. It's either far to
simple, or far to complex..
Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong? Or point me to a doc
that I should be reading/folowing?
Many thanks.

Try a web search on hyperion. We use it here for oracle queries. If you bomb out, repost and I will try to find the venor. We also used to call it "brio". Users here were very successfully in creating inaccurate reports because they did not understand tables, relationships, etc. GUI is nice however. IT loved it as there was no work for them to do.

Speaking of interfaces to the DB is there any good reporting interface that runs on Linux. Could be similar to Crystal Reports. Web based would be great.
I want to give people the ability to write their own reports. Problem is that we have almost 20 tables with id's and mappings so to generate a meaningful report requires complex SQL to join tables and to cull out other stuff.

Hello all,
Have any of you used any of the Linux-based backup/NAS applications/OS's
available on the net? If so, which one(s) and what are your thoughts? I
have read a bit about NASLite, Darma NAS OS, afbackup, AMANDA, Bacula, Mondo
and BrightStor ARCServe Backup for Linux. I am looking for a relatively
inexpensive NAS-style solution for the backing up of a few GB of information
as the current method used is causing the server to run out of space. This
would need to work in a RHEL 3 ES/AS environment.
Thank you!
-Ryan

Sorry if this is too obvious, but do you have a firewall on the router?
If so, have you modified the firewall rules to allow forwarding to the
new network?

Anyone can use the ftp.ale.org mirror to do a net install. This has the
complete DVD based set of rpms rather than the CD based set of rpms that
are missing a few such as checkinstall or the kernel symbols rpm. Also,
the multimedia comment is bogus since the suse rpm based repository at
http://packman.links2linux.org/ has all the multimedia rpms and scripts
needed to have Mplayer on suse.
Go into Yast2 after downloading and starting an install with the 1st
CD. Change the source of the install so your doing a ftp install.
The server in Yast2 would be ftp.ale.org
The path would be pub/suse/i386/9.3
note the lack of an initial / or ending / on the path when filling in
the blanks in the Yast2 form. I think the Yast2 installation tool adds
what it needs automatically since it is looking for a file in the
distribution on the server that describes the repository and what it
contains.
