Hi, I have two machines I would like to network. One of them uses ppp to connect to the internet. The other should be able to see the internet thru this first machine. Below is a network layout:
machine 2 machine 1 ==> ppp ==> Internet (tulip 100mps card) (linksys 100mps card) \ / \ / \ / 100mps hub I intend to use 192.168.0.{1,2} for the IP addresses. When logged into the internet I have a static IP on machine one. The PPP using machine has a 2.1.x kernel, the other has a 2.0.x kernel. Both machines detect their cards fine. I have ifconfig'ed both as: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.{1,2} netmask 255.255.255.0 I can then ping the machines IP. However I can not ping either machine from the other. My ppp link is intermittent (it is at home sharing a line w/ the rest of the house). Thanks for any and all support. -- ===== Linux, because I'd like to *get there* today
