The default gateway

eng_ahmedas

Hi All
I wish u r all fine.I am confusing about something and i wish u could help me solve it. yesterday day i was connecting a network consist of 3 cisco routers and i was connecting a pc to one of the ethernet interface of one of them. i give the pc ip add = 192.168.1.2 & mask 255.255.255.0 and default gateway was the ip of ethernet interface it was connected to which was 192.168.1.1.

In PC, we i set te default gateway to address= 1.1.1.1 , it works well and can foword packets outside the network 192.168.1.0 although i didn't use address 1.1.1.1 in my network

In PC , we i delete entry of gateway , it couldnt forword any packet outside network 192.168.1.0

Can anyone has any explantions ????

Thanks in advance

I would imagine this is due to proxy arp being enabled on the eth interface.Disable proxy arp on the eth int are retest.Do a google search for proxy arp and read up!
