Routing - two routers on one subnet
28/03/08 20:53 Filed in: Networking
Noted this from Rob Williams at Experts Exchange.
RobWill:
The configuration will work fine. The only issue is the remote VPN clients will connect to the VPN, but the replies to any of their LAN requests, will be sent to the default gateway, the Sonicwall, and therefore lost. To rectify this you can add a static route to the PC's/servers they connect to, or to the Sonicwall. The route will point traffic destined for the connecting client's subnet to the Linksys router's IP, rather than the default gateway. As an example on a server you would use
route -p add %20subnet%20> mask %20subnet mask%20> %20
eg:
route -p add 10.10.10.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.254
There is a catch, you need to know the subnet of the connecting VPN clients. Depending on the type of VPN you use, you might not know that, such as with the Linksys QuickVPN.

Setting up of Ruby on OS X

Settting up Ruby and Ajax, I followed these instructions.
You also need to make sure the PATH variable is set correctly to properly execute the files. This can be checked by typing ENV into the terminal of OS X.
Also you need to start with this comment
"I was able to get everything installed okay. The only problem is that the default database is now SQLite3. So, if you want to create apps with the above instructions using MySQL, you’ll have to start it using “rails -d mysql myApp”. Else, install SQLite3 and use it. These instructions are easy to use and very much appreciated. Thanks!"
