Internet & File Sharing (Advanced)

[starmonche]

Hey guys this is a Linux networking question and I've not had any luck with getting it solved yet.

ra0 (192.168.1.90) connects to roommate's wireless router for internet
eth1 (192.168.8.1) feeds shared internet into WAN port of my router
eth0 (172.28.201.3) connects to a LAN port of my router
computers on my router are 172.28.201.xxx

my server shares files, runs bind, and is a dchp server (dhcp is disabled on my router)

this script gets everything up and running:

---------------------------------------------
ifconfig ra0 192.168.1.90
ifconfig eth0 172.28.201.3
ifconfig eth1 192.168.8.1
route add -net default gw 192.168.1.1
sysctl -p
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ra0 -j SNAT --to 192.168.1.90
---------------------------------------------

when i copy large files to my server or from pc to pc on my network then i lose internet connectivity (network-wide). if i were able to set up a bridge using ra0 and eth1 then my network traffic would stay separated from my local traffic...but bridging evidently doesn't work with the wireless card that i have.

other than that minor "glitch" this setup works great. anybody have any ideas?

here's a "better" visual of how my network looks: http://geocities.com/starmonche/network.html

thank you

I'm bumping this back to the top, mostly because I'm curious to see the resolution myself.
