In a daisychain network such as this:
fw/router------server------workstation1------workstation2 (these are descriptions, not real hostnames), how should the addresses be set up? At the moment, all the machines are on 192.168.0.0. Is this wrong? Each machine can ping its neighbour but no farther, except for 'server', which can connect to the Internet via 'fw/router'. But 'workstation1' cannot ping 'fw/server', even after doing 'route add fw/router gw server eth0'. Using numerical addresses makes no difference. All my /etc/hosts list every machine. Daisychaining does not seem to be very much covered in the documentation I've found. I'm sure I'm making a basic mistake (apart from being too stingy to invest in hubs or switches or whatever). Therefore, a basic (and very general) question: What is the correct way to address machines in this sort of topology?
TIA,
Andrew
