Hi:

    I have a small problem... 
    I just conected two boxes with slattach. So far so good... I can ping
from one to another, etc... One of this boxes is connected, through ethernet,
to a router and the Internet. The problem is that the machine connected with
slip, cannot resolve any address. I know that's a routing problem, but until
now I could not figure where I'm goofing...

The situation:

   machine1 ed2 ip 200.255.96.24 netmask 255.255.255.224 (8 subnets of 30 ips)
            slip 200.255.96.28 (sl0)

   machine2 slip ip 200.255.96.29 (sl0)
  
   I've defined the following routes:
   mach1: (running routed -q )
         route add 200.255.96.28 127.0.0.1
         route add 200.255.96.29 200.255.96.28

   mach2: (running routed -q)
         route add 200.255.96.29 127.0.0.1
         route add 200.255.96.28 200.255.96.28
         route add default 200.255.96.28

   I can ping each other. Mach1 resolves addresses just fine.
But mach2 do not resolve anything and just pings to mach1 . 
I've tried to change the default route from mach2 to 200.255.96.24 
(the ip of mach1's ethernet), but no lucky.
I was wondering if I need to run the slip machines addresses in another
subnet...

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks a lot !

Regards,
Helio.
