Hey guys, I am trying to add a static route (not persistant) using Ubuntu. I am connecting to another network via PPTP that uses the same IP address range as my network. When I connect to a computer that is located on the other network, I need the traffic to go through the VPN gateway, obviously. In Windows I could just do: route add <destination computer ip> mask 255.255.255.255 <ppp ip address> How would that command translate into UNIX speak? Ta
Don't know if this is what you're looking for, but there's a route program in linux anyway. Wtih similar syntax to your example, take a look at that if you haven't already.
To list routes: Code: route -n You can add a new static route with `route add`. For example, if you have an IP on 192.168.2.0/24 and you wanted a route to 192.168.240.0/24, you could add a static route like so: Code: route add -net 192.168.240.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.2.1 ...assuming the router providing the route is 192.168.2.1.
