Too many things has been changed. Hopefully, it will be a straight upgrade from 2.0.5. It's basically a bugfix release from 2.0.5. All development of new features went into the 2.2 branch, while the 2.1 branch has only bugfixes (and few selected enhancements) applied. >btw, what does SNAP stand for ? (my apologize for my ignorance) snapshot -- as opposed to a "release". Release refers to a some quality testing, snapshot is simply a succesful build of an entire system, just to get something out to the impacient. >this is my gateway diagram: > > >X.Y.Z.85 |--| X.Y.Z.65 X.Y.Z.33 |--| X.Y.Z.42 A.B.C.D |--| A.B.C.* >(INTERNAL) (GATEWAY) (ROUTER) (External) > > >Internal Subnet : >netmask 255.255.255.224 >subnet 3 (X.Y.Z.65 - X.Y.Z.94) >route default 202.0.99.65 > >Gateway : >netmask 255.255.255.224 for both network cards >route network A.* X.Y.Z.42 > >telnet from gateway to A.B.C.4, ok. >telnet from Z.Y.Z.85 to A.B.C.4, failed, timeout. What does the routing table on INTERNAL say for A.B.C.4? Does ROUTER forward the entire X.Y.Z network (netmask 255.255.255.0) to X.Y.Z.33? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
