This is starting to frustrate me, because it should be much simpler than it seems to be, and I feel like I'm missing something small and obvious.
I have two private networks, we'll say 192.168.254.0/24 and 192.168.251.0/24. And I have a linux box in the middle with addresses 192.168.254.17 and 192.168.251.10:
+---------------+ . +----------------+ ¦ 192.168.251.1 +---+ 192.168.251.10 ¦ . +----------------+ +---------------+ . ¦ 192.168.254.17 +---+ 192.168.254.16 ¦ . . . . . . . . . . +----------------+ . +----------------+
There is no NAT involved.. I just want the box in the middle to pass traffic between the two networks. Here is what I have done:
- IP Forwarding has been enabled on the router via "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
- A route has been configured on 192.168.251.1 to point all traffic for 192.168.254.0/24 to 192.168.251.10.
- A route has been configured on 192.168.254.16 to point all traffic for 192.168.251.0/24 to 192.168.254.17.
- The command "iptables -I FORWARD -j ACCEPT" has been executed.
Now.. here's what happens. 192.168.251.10 can ping both interfaces on the router. 192.168.254.16 can also ping both interfaces on the router. However, 192.168.251.1 cannot ping 192.168.254.16, and likewise, 192.168.254.16 cannot ping 192.168.251.1.
What have I forgotten?
