I have to do some rearrangement quickly, but I don't know a bunch about
how to do it, or what to read to help. Here's the problem.
I have a machine, picnic, which connects to my isp via ppp. I also have a
NetBSD machine (a DEC 5000/133) and another FreeBSD machine, all connected
up via ethernet here at my house. My ISP has let me have 2 static ip
addresses. I've only needed the one, because I've been too busy during
the semester to get the network I want going. Well, classes are over
(Yea!) and I have to connect things right.
Here's a picture:

I have to get names for these guys! I have them written down here
somewhere, hidden under a PILE of homework.
I want to know how to configure the addresses on the ethernet, and the ppp
(I use user-mode iijppp). I don't clearly understand how to set up the
stuff. I know it'll involve stuff like aliases ... would anyone care to
fill me in enough so I can begin to ask the right questions?
On the other hand, point me at what to read and I'll be off like a shot.
Thanks for your help.
