so can anyone please show me how to have access on 192.25.253.1 using 192.25.253.5 as the gateway of my pc 192.25.253.119.. please and thanks
You probably have routers & firewalls as well. Surely there must be a networking expert at your company who set this up & maintains it. Its not really something you can configure without knowing the network topoology.
Anyway this has nothing to do with linode.
Do a bare install of Debian, add your favorite text editor, and get gShield from
Then, go learn about iptables (I'm still just use gSheild and I've been using Linux for a long time) for real, and maybe setup a transparent proxy, etc.

hey i'm kinda new with linux and very very unfamiliar with networking.. any here's my situation… our company has currently installed 2 broadband connection on the server.. all the workstations have their ip's blocked by the servers so that they cannot have access to the internet.. only 2 linux server (one is cent OS and the other red hat enterprise) have an access to the internet.. so i was asked to investigate about making the linux servers act as router so that my workstation can access the internet through the linux servers…. i found several topics about routing but i think my situation is a bit different because the linux server is not really the source of the internet but rather only a workstation in itself..

Pay someone that knows what they are doing to do it. You are more likely to get something that's internet safe.
