Without trying to re-invent the wheel, I am doing what you're doing above,
and here's what I did (if it'll help any, albeit 2nd machine is a
different OS):
"Server" P5-233MMX / 64MB (Soon to be Dual 550 Xeon/256MB)
FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE
XL0: set through DHCP
XL1: ip: 192.168.1.1 net: 192.168.1.0 bcast: 192.168.1.255
netmask: 255.255.255.0
Route Info:
u: inet 192.168.1.0; u: link ; RTM_GET: Report Metrics: len 136, pid: 0,
seq 1, errno 0, flags:<UP,GATEWAY,STATIC>
locks: inits:
sockaddrs: <DST,NETMASK,IFP>
192.168.1.0 (0) 0 ffff ff
route to: 192.168.1.0
destination: 192.168.1.0
mask: 255.255.255.0
interface: xl1
flags: <UP,DONE,CLONING>
recvpipe sendpipe ssthresh rtt,msec rttvar hopcount mtu
expire
0 0 0 0 0 0 1500
-30870
locks: inits:
sockaddrs: <DST,GATEWAY,NETMASK,IFP,IFA>
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 xl1:0.60.97.5b.f8.79 area51
/*
I knew the actual routing command for Linux but I used sysinstall to
setup the routing, but here's the Linux equiv that I know works:
route -add net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
192.168.1.255 [device])
*/
---
"Client" P5-200 / 64MB
Windows98
NIC0: ip: 192.168.1.2 net: 192.168.1.0 bcast: 192.168.1.255
netmask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.1.1
(DNS info filled in by hand)
Running natd on the "server" for the clients inet access, local lan
traffic works fine (and ofcourse masqueraded traffic) .. Hope my ramblings
help some.
