Q22: How to install WOOWEB-PRO when an Intranet router is already in use ?

Without particular configuration you will probably arrive at the following result: either you reach the Internet through WOOWEB-PRO, or you reach your Intranet through your router, the two accesses seeming incompatible. To reconcile the two types of access you will have to modify the routing tables of your computers by referring to the example:

In this example, we suppose that:

• Your Intranet is based on IP addresses such as 172.25.45.xx and 172.19.65.xx and a subnet mask set to 255.255.255.0
• Your LAN is based on IP addresses such as 172.19.88.xx and a subnet mask set to 255.255.255.0
• The address of you Intranet router is 172.19.88.126
• The address of WOOWEB-PRO is 172.19.88.254

First of all, suppress the router IP address from the gateway list in all the machines on your LAN. Leave only WOOWEB-PRO as gateway.

On Windows XP, 2000 or NT4

You just need to add the permanent routes by typing at the prompt:

route ADD -p 172.25.45.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 172.19.88.126
route ADD -p 172.19.65.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 172.19.88.126

On Windows 98 or Windows 95

Permanent routes cannot be added directly. Build a batch file named sroutes.bat by copying the two following lines:

route ADD 172.25.45.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 172.19.88.126
route ADD 172.19.65.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 172.19.88.126

Add sroutes.bat into Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

On Linux

The Route tool does not make it possible to create permanent routes. Under certain distributions, configure the file "route.conf". If not, you can create a startup script. Copy the six following lines in a file which you will call "sroutes". Give it the execution rights and place it in /etc/init.d:

#!/bin/sh
# chkconfig: 2345 75 70
# description: This shell script initializes the static routes on your system.
/sbin/route add -net 172.25.45.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.252
/sbin/route add -net 172.19.65.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.252
exit 0

By using a tool such as KSysV, add "sroutes" with the order 70 into initialisation levels 2,3,4 and 5.
If you don't want to use KSysV, create manually a symbolic link named "S70sroutes" pointing to "../sroutes" into /etc/rc.d/rc2.d, /etc/rc.d/rc3.d, /etc/rc.d/rc4.d and /etc/rc.d/rc5.d.
