5. I now add a default gateway to B
route add -net default gw 192.168.1.1
(this being the IP address of the router itself) and with this setup I can access the web quite freely from machine B.
6. The other two machines (A and C) each have default gateway B.
7. However, from neither of the other machines can I access the web at all.
8. This contrasts, however, with the behaviour when B is used to dial-up using an ordinary phone modem. Kppp does the business, and when it's done there's a default route on B via PPP through interface ppp0 to the outside world.
With this, and default routes on A and C as above, unchanged, all 3 machines can access the web freely.
Hi Ted, I'm coming into this thread a bit late (and someone may have already suggested this) but have you tried route add -net default gw 192.168.1.1 on machines A & C?

Thanks for trying, Keith! However, when tried on C just now: route add -net default gw 192.168.1.1 SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable -- not surprising since C (and A) are on Net 192.168.0.* only. Routing table for C = 192.168.0.7 (similar for A = 192.168.0.1): ---------------------------------------------------------------- Destination Gateway Genmask Flags (blah) Iface 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U (blah) lo 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U (blah) eth0 default 192.168.0.6 0.0.0.0 UG (blah) eth0 = B Routing table for B = 192.168.0.6: ---------------------------------- Destination Gateway Genmask Flags (blah) Iface 192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U (blah) 0 vmnet1 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U (blah) 0 eth0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U (blah) 0 eth1 default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG (blah) 0 eth1 = ADSL Router RJ45 interface B is also = 192.168.1.3 on Net 192.168.1.* (being the ifconfig adrress of the 2nd NIC). Does this give any clues? As stated before, the above setup (minus the default route for B) works fine when B dials out using kppp: both A and C can route out through B. But, with the above as shown, only B can see out through the ADSL router.
