In order to communicate with hosts on a different Ethernet domain the host must use a gateway to get there. I'm assuming that 5.6.71.166 is on a different Ethernet domain. I have verified that the gateway will respond to ping if I use an IP address in its network, unfortunately that is not an option because the system can't have a real (not in .x) ip address in that range. # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system TX packets:291 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 RX packets:45 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 So I run this command (which I thought will enable a static route to a single host), but I still can't ping the gateway: # ip route add 5.6.71.166 dev eth0 ![]() As a first step I want to add a route so that I can reach the gateway from the system. My debian system has the ip address 192.168.111.111 and I would like to configure a default gateway which is not on the 192.168.111.0 network. ![]()
