Hi,
Below I enclose the configuration I'm trying to setup (Actually I'am using
the figure of an old message to this list from eichin@cygnus.com...thank you
..I did not feel like drawing it again):
193.145.101.61
|-------| ethernet |---|
|Gateway|------------+---------| B | 193.145.101.57
|-------| | |---|
|---| |
| x | .. | <--SLIP
|---| |
|---|
| A | 193.145.101.54
|---|
| ethernet - 7 computers
+---------+------+---------------
| | |
|---| |---| |---|
| m | | n | | o | ...
|---| |---| |---|
Machine B is acting like a SLIP server and it works great.
"x" are machines on my 1st Ethernet network.
"Gateway" goes to the rest of the Internet.
Now I am trying to connect the 7 computers' ethernet (m, n, o, ..) to the rest
of the World.
- PLEASE, do you know how to setup machine B to do the routing between my
two Ethernets?
- Probably it is better and faster to use B like a bridge. I have free
IP numbers (193.145.101.53, 52, 51 ...) on the same subnet to do it.
What do you think? Do I need to specify some specific routing table?
- Two of the seven machines (m, n) are Sun Workstations. Which is the real
gateway I need to specify in their configuration files ("A" or "Gateway")?
Thanks in advance,
Felix
