I have a gateway to share a dsl line with about 20 users that all use win 9x or a more recent windows product. One of the users wants to be able to setup pcanywhere so he can access his office computer using his cable modem at home instead of the phone line.
This is the output of ifconfig: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:23:A3:AC inet addr:216.86.213.93 Bcast:216.86.213.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:241367 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:260291 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:41 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x6000 eth0:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:23:A3:AC inet addr:216.86.213.94 Bcast:216.86.213.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x6000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:5A:CB:A2 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:191550 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:233023 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:11 Base address:0x6100 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:38940 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:38940 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 And this is the output of route: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface adsl-gte-la-216 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 adsl-gte-la-216 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 216.86.213.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default adsl-gte-la-216 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0 Note: the the first two entires are the hosts associated with eth:0 and eth0:1 Now, I'm a remote location but when logged into this machine I can ping all ip addresses. >From my machine I get no responce when I try and ping the address associated with eth0:1 however when I use tcpdump host 216.86.213.94 I get the following result while pinging that address from my machine so it looks like it is getting something but not answering. 11:31:07.232889 ca-brea2a-102.stmnca.adelphia.net > adsl-gte-la-216-86-213-94.mminternet.com: icmp: echo request (DF) Also, it is not possible for me to ask someone at the site to try to ping the eth0:1 address from a machine on the 192.168.0 segment, however I'll be in the area tomorrow (only 15-20 minutes out of my way) and can swing by and see if it is working from there if absolutely necessary. This is also a repost, I've incorporated all of the advice from my original post but more important priorities forced me to put this on the back burner. That always catches up with me since now this is a fire that I need to put out. If I can't get the aliasing to work the way I want it to, I'll have to go down there tomorrow and throw in another NIC for the second address but I don' really want to do that because it is possible that more people will want the same and I don't want to have to keep adding cards. Space and maintenance are more of issues than cost. Also, it isn't practical to just give that computer an external ip address because it is behind another hub on the 192 segment. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated. Chad Morgan
