In order that the 10.X network range can access the internet i added the a route # route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.254
I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it. What that route says is that whatever traffic you send on the 10.0.0.0 network should be sent through the gateway 192.168.0.254
The nodes on 10.X network should simply add 10.0.0.1 as gateway. And on this machine, you need to add an iptables rule to forward the traffic from 10.X to the gateway.
Now is have one client with ip 10.0.0.5 , when i try to ping 10.0.0.5 ( following is the result ). I am neither able to ping 10.0.0.1 from my client machine ( 10.0.0.5 ) . My firewall is stoped and SElinux is disabled.
That's because all packets meant for 10.0.0.5 were sent to the gateway instead of directly to the host.
