I have a Sun runing sliplogin connected via SLIP to a PC running the ka9q package. The PC also has an ethernet board. I've connected a second PC to the first PC with and ethernet cable. The problem that I'm having has to do with the routing from the Sun to the second PC. The Sun knows about the first PC by the running of sliplogin which places and entry into the routing table. I've tried adding a route for the second PC that routes to the first PC, but that didn't seem to work to well (at all is more like it). A second instantiation of sliplogin with the IP address of the second PC succeeded only in confusing the Sun that it stopped using the SLIP connection. I don't think that gated is necessary for this, but then again it may be the only course of action. Is there another approach that I can try? Frank guerra@lance.tis.llnl.gov

Is there another approach that I can try? The problem that I had with SLIP for so long was that an ARP entry was not being added for my PC. It appears that your sliplogin program will add one for your first PC, but maybe you need to add another entry on your SUN for your second PC. I believe the format of the command is something like: arp -a hostname 00:00:00:00:00:00 (Where 00:00:00:00:00:00 is the Ethernet address of your SUN.) Good luck!
