I hope this is the right place for this... I have a LAN of about 20 PCs right now. WinNT 4.0SP3 PDC server LAN address 10.7.7.1, dynamic IP dial-up internet connection. running Wingate 2.1d proxy server to provide internet access to the LAN. Wingate is also the DHCP server assigning the LAN clients addresses in the 10.7.7.x range Several Win98, Win95 and WFW systems. All can access 'standard' internet services without problem (web, mail, news). So far, so good. It's been like this for a couple of years. I have a spare 486 in my office for me to learn about FreeBSD on. Actually, my intent is to eventually run an SQL server of some sort on there. If I can learn about Samba, X, KDE, and a few other things at the same time then that's great. However, I don't want to run another cable from my office to the nearest hub nor am I likely to be able to buy one. So what I've done is put an additional NIC in my Win95 system and a NIC in the BSD box, assigned them 10.7.1.1 (win95) and 10.7.1.2 (BSD). These two systems can see each other fine and my Win95 system can even see the Samba shares I've set up. What I don't get is how to make the BSD box see through the Win95 box to the rest of the network. I've played alot with 'route add' but haven't found a combination that works. I am able to ping 10.7.7.3 from the BSD box but not past there to 10.7.7.x. I don't know if I'm unable to do it just because I apparently don't understand the route command(s) (I thought I did before I ever needed to use it ;-) ) or is my major mistake a little further up with the IP address assignments? Should this additional network be on 10.7.7? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While I'm at it, I have another two Win95 systems that are on the same physical 10.7.7 network that I'd like to logically seperate but still allow them to see the proxy server at 10.7.7.1. I'd like those systems to be on something like 10.7.2.x so that by default, the systems on 10.7.7 would not see them and vice versa but like I said, they should see the proxy server (I know I could do this by configuring an extra IP address on the NIC in the NT server but that would probably require a reboot - so far I get away with 'only' two reboots a year on that machine). Anybody here know enough about NT/95 to know how to accomplish that? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As I said, my eventual intention is to run an SQL server on the BSD system. It can't be necessary to run something like Samba so the Windows systems see the BSD system for this is it? Or is the alternative to that running some other protocol on the Windows systems? Not that I have anything against Samba, I just thought there was some kind of database protocol whereby front-ends like MS-Access could access a database on a unix system without actual drive shares or anything. I'm almost certain... thanks, Shannon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
