I'm trying to configure my network on my Linux Mint OS. I've been able to do it on Win10 and it's shameful I'm not able to do the same on Linux..
I describe my situation. I have a router-modem connected to internet (address 192.168.1.1) and since the connection is too far away from my room there is an access point (ip 192.168.2.1).
On windows I succeeded in configuring the network using:
192.168.2.89 /24 gw 192.168.2.1 and dns: 192.168.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 I've also added in the advanced tab another address: 192.168.1.46 /24 and another gateway 192.168.1.1.
I'm using network manager and I've basically tried all the possible combinations of ip address / gateway / dns, but at most, I'm able to ping both networks but I can't access to Internet.
Any hints?
is it possible to impose a rule that packets from network X go through gateway Y and use DNS Z ? haven't seen any similar option on Network Manager

Re: Same configuration on Win does not work on Mint
There is nothing shameful if you aren't able to configure Mint network. It only means that you have to learn the Mint way. Mint isn't a copy of Windows. While installing Mint if your machine is connected to the network, then the network is automatically configured. Later you can tweak it according to your requirement.

Re: Same configuration on Win does not work on Mint
Thank you for the link, I'll read it and try that. Automatically unfortunately does not work.
Another thing is that I m using nm, so I am wondering if there could be conflicts
