I'v done that with two machines, Concorde and Oscar both with artificial addressing. Snip of my hosts file: # # Imaginary network. 10.0.0.2 concorde concorde.baker.net 10.0.0.3 oscar oscar.baker.net Then, on Oscar I type in: ifconfig lp0 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.2 route add concorde 10.0.0.3 route add 10.0.0.3 127.0.0.1 Then, on Concorde, I type in: ifconfig lp0 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3 route add oscar 10.0.0.2 route add 10.0.0.2 127.0.0.1 Then you should be able to use TCP/IP and everything. > > Duane... > > ____________________________________________________________________________ > Duane Ellison duane@gargamel.ptw.com > Edwards, CA 73514.1502@compuserve.com > http://gargamel.ptw.com/~duane > > > Daniel Baker -- NeoSoft Student Assistant (UseNet, FTP & CivNet Admin.)
