[NTLUG:Discuss] network problem

[Fred]

My system broke going from Mdk9.0 to SuSE9.1 Pro. I'll try to explain:
I have 2 nics, one to the dsl modem and one to the 8 port switch. 
- eth1 was 192.168.1.2, dsl modem was 192.168.1.1
- eth0 was 192.168.1.10, win95 was 192.168.1.11, XP box was 192.168.1.12, etc.

It all worked under Mdk9 with a routetab script (called during boot) in /etc
thus:

# Script to fix route problem
# in local network.
#

exec `route add -host 192.168.1.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev eth1`
exec `route add -host 192.168.1.2 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev eth1`
exec `route add -host 192.168.1.10 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev eth0`
exec `route add -host 192.168.1.11 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev eth0`
exec `route add -host 192.168.1.12 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev eth0`
exec `route add default gw 192.168.1.1 dev eth1`

SuSE laughs at me when I try the same bandaid. I know that I could set the dsl
modem/router to bridge, etc etc but it is now a matter of trying to learn
enough about networking to make it work like it did with Mdk9. I think that
what it amounts to is tying two different nets together in one box that share
the same subnet. The next question is why would it work in one and not the
other?

Maybe the systems are different enough that it cannot be done. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Fred
