Given linux router dalton, eth 3, connected to a local machine carnot, eth0, with a cross-over cable, I need some help to set the configurations properly.
#dalton:/etc/network/interfaces ... iface eth3 inet static address 172.24.2.1 up route add -host 142.103.107.138 down route del -host 142.103.107.138 #carnot:/etc/network/interfaces ... iface eth0 inet static address 142.103.107.138 gateway 172.24.2.1 Obviously these specifications are deficient; but there is no point in fretting details until I understand the concepts. The link must be in a network. How can 172.24.2.1 and 142.103.107.138 be in one network? Does carnot need a local address along with its public address? Incidental points. http://www.linuxrouter.org/ appears to be defunct although many links to it exist. At least one in tldp.org. r...@dalton:~# /etc/init.d/networking restart Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable a gain some interfaces ... (warning). So "networking restart" deprecated. What is the "new way"? Thanks, ... Peter E. -- VoIP 7785886232 is gone. Please use 13604502132. Sparcstation 2 netboots netbsd; installation pending.
