Route Problems with a Socks Proxy Server
Linux Red Hat 5.0 Multi Homed Proxy server.
Socks5 Proxy server installed
SocksCap32 TPC/IP shim run on client PC’s
Internal NIC address = 192.168.5.2
Internal Network Sub’ed into 2 Networks seperated by Routers and a T1 superpath. Proxy server is on 192.168.5.0 subnet (Router address is 192.168.5.1). Other subnet is 192.168.6.0
External NIC address = 204.211.78.240 (Connected to a Cable Modem and Road Runner) Road Runner upstream router is 204.211.78.1
Current problem : Internal clients can not connect to host 192.168.5.2 for e-mail or Romstar.com when running “Socksified”. The server refuses the connection. External address browsing works fine.
When you try to ping www.romstar.com or 192.168.5.2 at the console you get “Network is unreachable”
Have tried :
Route add –net 127.0.0.0 result=“Network Unreachable”
Tried route del “on almost all entries and the Route Table comes back the same after reboot”
Tried changing DomainName in network file to “maine.rr.com” (Was Romstar.com). result=no change
Current etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=no

You are right; however, the reason I do not want to hit activate on it is that the IP address is blank. Here is how it reads :
Interface IP address Proto OnBoot Active
lo none inactive
eth0 204.211.78.240 none yes active
eth1 192.168.5.1 none yes active
When I try to edit to lo line it states that the local loop back can not be changed; however, if I hit activate what ip address will it try ? Thanks !

I've heard things like this... Always is due to some missing information... Just compare in /etc/sysconfig/network-scr
