Can you ping the other machine? AFAIK drbd doesn't need anything special, but you do need working IP. Maybe you just need to add a route on each of the boxes so they know where to find the other machine. There are endless resources on how to route ip out there on the internet, but basically, you probably want a route on each machine for the subnet of the other machine, and that route should point to the machine in it's own subnet that knows where to find the machines on the other subnet. You also of course don't want anything filtering your drbd data out in between them either.. Machine a: 192.168.1.5 Machine b: 192.168.2.5 Router 1: 192.168.1.1 && 192.168.2.1 + ->internet Machine a: "route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.1" Machine b: "route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.2.1" If you have any NAT or filtering going on things get more complicated.. If the machines are physically close to each other, you're probably better off giving them their own private network (could be just a crossover cable) just for their communication with each other. My guess is that's what most people do with drbd. My apologies if this was a little too fundamental, but the WFConnection just sounds like the machines have no IP between them. If you can ping though, and there is nothing to filter your packets, then it should work. Speed is always an issue though, so through a wan can really hurt your performance. -Jeff On Mon, 2007-04-23 at 13:37 -0700, Jeff Gamsby wrote: > Can I setup DRBD across two subnets? > > I previously had it working on the same subnet, then moved one computer > and now I can only get "WFConnection".
