THIS IS AN UPDATE TO OUR INQUERY ABOUT FUSION TCP/IP RUNNING ON VMS OPERATING SYSTEM WITHIN PRIMARILY UNIX OPERATING SYSTEM ON A SUBNETTED TCP/IP ETHERNET NETWORKS. AS WE STATED BEFORE, FUSION SOFTWARE DOESNOT SUPPORT RIP AND THEREFORE WE NEEDED TO HAVE SOME ONE TELL THE OTHER COMPUTERS ABOUT OUR SUBNET. THE PROBLEM IS NOT FUSION SOFTWARE...ASIDE FROM THEM NOT SUPPORTING RIP OR SOME DYNAMIC ROUTING. WE TESTED STATIC ROUTING USING OUR VAX8650 RUNNING ULTRIX AND HAD SOME PROBLEMS...WE DID NOT ENTER THE STATIC ROUTING COMMANDS FOR ROUTING CORRECTLY (PROBABLY). WE DID A STATIC ROUTINE ON A SUN MACHINE AND WE WERE ABLE TO ROUTE INTO AND OUT OF OUR SUBNET. DOES ANYBODY KNOW A WAY OF JUST ENTERING ONLY ONTO ONE MACHINE RUNNING UNIX AND LET IT TELLS ALL THE OTHER ROUTERS/GATEWAYS WITHIN OUR LOCAL NETWORKS WITHOUT ENTERING IT INTO ALL THE MACHINES?
