> Yes. In short: use the proxyarp option of pppd Nils, I'm trying to do the _exact_ same thing, except instead of PPP I have two ethernet interfaces. I believe my setup is correct, and I believe that it doesn't work because the "campus network" in my case is a cable modem and the cable company hasn't properly set me up to use the 5 static IP addresses that they have given me to use. I actually just need three IP's: two for my ethernet cards and one for the machine on the local lan. Here I've numbered my IPs just like your campus example, but I've added the third address, 1.2.3.3, for my second ethernet card (for my local lan) where the other fellow is using PPP. If you don't mind eyeballing this, I'd be very grateful! #eth0 is the cable modem side. The hardware address in the arp #command is the one from my eth0 interface (the cable modem side). # configure the IP address, netmask and broadcast address. /sbin/ifconfig eth0 1.2.3.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 1.2.3.255 # add a network route to point to it: /sbin/route add -net 1.2.3.0 device eth0 # Add a default route. /sbin/route add default gw 1.2.3.254 # eth1 is the Win95 local lan side: /sbin/ifconfig eth1 1.2.3.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 1.2.3.255 arp -s 1.2.3.2 00:10:4B:1E:A4:1B pub /sbin/route add -host 1.2.3.2 device eth1 /sbin/route add -host 1.2.3.3 device eth1 -- ...RickM... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
