You have to learn how works IP networks :-) IP is wild and wide :-) you can try this on your windows : c:\> route add 10.54.0.2 MASK 255.255.255.255 10.54.7.2 OR do the same on your router at 10.54.7.1 OR (depend on how your linux box is configured) c:\> route add 10.54.0.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.54.7.16 But this should give you access on both 10.54.0.2 and 10.54.0.3 OR if routing is enable on 10.54.7.2 c:\> route add 10.54.0.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.54.7.2 should also give you access to both 10.54.0.2 and 10.54.0.3 You just have to understand the first one other are just to spread out my IP knowledges. Ops, the last one is sometime useful to configure a device on another IP range, without reconfiguring your IP. Like when unpacking a new router with IP 192.168.123.1 Regards. > > Thanks > Bob > > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -- Alain Spineux aspineux gmail com May the sources be with you
