I have been trying to get diald and ipfwadm to work.
 
Originally, when I setup my network I used the IP addresses 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.20 etc (Bad !!) . They worked, but before trying to get the fowarding to work I figured I would use more kosher Class C addresses such as 192.168.x.x
 
So, I changed the addresses on the Linux and the Windows machines. The problem is that they no longer see each other.
 
I did an ifconfig and the Linux machine and I see:
eth0    ....
          inet addr: 192.168.1.1    Bcast 1.1.1.255       Mask 255.255.255.0
 
I have no idea what Bcast is but I would think it is the source of the problem. How can I change that parameter ? I am using Red Hat 5.1
 
I know, this is not the right group but you guys seem to be IP gurus....
 
Thanks very much.
