Stan Brown once stated: = I have 2 physicaly seperate segments of the same subnet that I need to = connect logicaly. I have a FreeBSD gateway/firewall machine on both of = the subnets conected to the corporate network. I love my PPP over SSH connection. Basicly, ppp on one machine invokes ssh to login to the other side and start ``ppp -direct'' there. Once the connection is up, both ends can route packets to/from the newly created tun-interfaces enabling other machines on the LANs to see it all. This works perfect to get a normal connection through a one-way firewall too, BTW. -mi = Specificaly, I have an existing network 170.85.106.* netmask = 255.255.255.128 which connects to the corporate 170.85.113.* network = this is then is routed to 170.85.109.* Now I have in my office some = more machines that I need to set up for the 170.85.106 net. = = Is there a way to encapsulate packets on the 2 parts of the 170.85.105 = network, and send them to the other part, where they would be = unencapsulated? I think this is called IP Tunneling and Linux appears = to support it, but I would rather not change the 2 gateway/firewall = machines over to Linux, if I don't have to.
