Hello, I am still having troubles installing a router using Ka9q may be I'm just missing something very simple, hope somebody out there has some hints. A PS/2 with 2 3C523's is to be set as a router, one card is connected to a local thinnet (a Sun is on this loop along with the PC's) the other card is connected thru thicknet to netland. I think I set the Sun properly , I do a "ping"( from the local loop /Sun) to a remote machine and I do get the "machine is alive" this leads me to believe that I have something wrong on the PC since from a remote machine a do a 'ping' on the Sun in question and I get no answer. the section on my autoexec.net where I define the routing is: . . route add default thick_ether [gateway ip on thicknet] route add [local sun ip] thin_ether . . I tried a lot of different combinations but none of them helped, from the PS/2 everything works(can connect to anywhere). Any help appreciated. cuellar@umbc5.umbc.edu becker@bagend.eng.umd.edu

I think you are missing that you have to respond to ARPs for the SUN on the LAN. You can let the PC do a proxy ARP by appending : arp publish [slip-system ip-address[ ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff where aa:bb... is the ethernet address of the pc-card connected to the big LAN. This way ARPs for the SUN get send to the PC, and the PC knows where the SUN is. Voila ! This is at least what I did when running SLIP through ka9q.

Are you using RIP on your network or did you define a static route in your default gateway or Suns?
