<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param><FontFamily><param>System</param>Hi, I've been following this list quite a while, I'm a little off 
topic but in the need of serious help. You can mail me 
direct all your help and I'll post a summary at the end. 
thanks in advance.


-----------------------------------------------

problem:


We are a cablemodem provider and have disabled the peer 
to peer options in our CMTSs to avoid problems with NBT 
and directed broadcast to our customers. The network has 
been split in many nodes around the city and each node is 
as follows:


              to other nodes

                    |

                    |

               -------------

               |  router   |

               | 10.2.15.1 |

               -------------

                    |

                    |

             ---------------

             | cable modem |

             | termination |

             |  system     |

             ---------------

                    /\

                   /  \

                  /    \

                 /      \

                me     other

          10.2.15.2   10.2.15.3


As you might guess, under this configuration "me" and 
"other" won't be able to ping to each other. We have done 
some tests with linux setting "route -net 10.2.15.0 netmask 
255.255.255.0 gw 10.2.15.1" and it works but it does not on 
win9x. We are looking for this solution because we are 
deploying a VoIP to some customers on the same node.


The above solution, if possible under win9x, would bring a 
problem because we are modifying the customer machine 
instead of our network but is feasible solution anyway. Is 
there a way on doing this within our nodes? if not, is there a 
way to modify or tweak the win9x routing table?<FontFamily><param>Arial</param>
