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: ISP | (tel line)| | (local ethernet) ============================================================= | | | FreeBSD FreeBSD NetBSD (picnic) 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.
