Packets traversing R1 endure SKIP processing, packets traversing R2 are subjected to NAT. When Host B directs packets to R1 they are SKIP processed and placed on the private Ethernet. The packets returning to Host B should be directed to R1 to be SKIP processed before being routed to the Internet. The plan is to set the Gateway address for the Win95/8/NT hosts to the FR router which has R2 for its default route but which learns that the route back to host B is via R1. [Host B] | {Internet} | [Router] RIP II | =================Ethernet (public) | | [R1] [R2] gated gated | | =================Ethernet (private) | | [Host A] [FR] Cisco rip 2 Win 95/8 | {Elsewhere} So far I have not been able to get this to work, although I can verify that R1 is advertising routes and the other routers are listening for them. A static route added to R1 just does not show up in the other routers. Can this work? Can a host route be propagated on the private network? What might I be doing wrong? Are the host routes being aggregated with the default routes? Any tips or suggestions will be welcome.
