I want to test the static routing on this configuration.
HOST WIN XP <-> LAN LINKSYS ROUTER WAN <-> WAN LINKSYS ROUTER LAN <-
HOST WIN XP
The first host win xp address is 192.168.1.2 (mask 255.255.255.0).
The LAN interface of the first router is 192.168.1.1 (mask
255.255.255.0) .
The WAN interface of the first router (static) is 150.0.0.1 (mask
255.255.0.0).
The WAN interface of the second router (static) is 150.0.0.2 (mask
255.255.0.0)
The LAN interface of the second router is 220.100.0.1 (mask
255.255.255.0)
The second host win xp address is 200.100.0.2 (mask 255.255.255.0).
The default gateway for the first router is 150.0.0.2
The default gateway for the second router is 150.0.0.1
I have set up static route for the first router to go on the
200.100.0.0 Network. I also have set up static route for the second
router to go on the 192.168.1.0 Network.
When I try to ping from the first host to the LAN interface of the
first router: OK.
When I try to ping from the first host to the WAN interface of the
first router: OK.
When I try to ping from the first host to the WAN interface of the
second router: PROBLEM.
Any suggestion to solve this problem?
Regards,
JR

Are you using a crossover cable between the two router WAN ports?

Who owns 150.0.0.1?

Who owns 150.0.02?
I am just curious; I can't resolve an owner for either IP address. Neither
Sam Spade, nor DNSStuff resolves a responsible party for the IP address.

Why aren't you using an RFC 1918 IP address on the LAN side of the router?

Where does the gateway go?

You have also got a 220.100.0.0 network. I don't think that it is
appropriate to be using any IP address other than RFC 1918 IP addresses in
this network. You can use any IP address in 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, or
192.168.0.0/16; why use any others?

As expected.

I wonder if this is just a crossover problem, or a problem with the fact
that there is no device with a routing table to manage packets on the
150.0.0.0 network? I am to lazy to try to configure a replica of your rig,
and too uncertain of my knowledge to say it should, or shouldn't work; or
why, for either case.

Change the 150.0.0.0 network addresses to something like 172.16.0.1 and
172.16.0.2; just to be within the spirit of RFC 1918. Yes, any old IP
address will do, but...
Change the 2?0.100.0.0 network addresses to something like 10.0.0.1 and
10.0.0.2; just to be within the spirit of RFC 1918. Yes, any old IP address
will do, but...(or, at the list fix the typo!)
I am not so sure that you can effect a WAN-to-WAN connection with SOHO
routers, so maybe you are using something more capable?
