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:

          inet addr:216.86.213.93  Bcast:216.86.213.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

And this is the output of route:

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.
