My linux box is connected to a campus network, and i'd like to provide access to that network to a machine connected over a serial/modem line via PPP. i *think* the normal way to do this would be: - get an IP assigned for the PPP box - compile the linux kernel with IP forwarding and have it route packets to and from the PPP box - make the gateway that my linux box uses accept packets from the new IP with my ethernet card's hardware address and through my ethernet port the first two I can do, but the third one may be problematic, as I'm not an administrator for the gateway or anything. i have been told that i can have multiple machines connect through my port (using a hub), but it expects each IP to have a unique hardware address.
My question is: can I fake this? all i think i need is to have the linux box use a different hardware address for packets using the second IP, right? thanks in advance for any random thoughts or ideas... -alan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
