Hello everybody,
I have installed the FreeBSD-1.1-GAMMA BINARY DISTRIBUTION in two
similar machines, by now, I intend to attach my subnetwork to the
net in my work, i.e sophia-net, I use the serial link to link the PCs and
an ethercard to connect sophia-net, this is my net architecture:
sophia-net
--------+------------------------------+-------- ...
| |
| | .....
S = serial port +---E---+ +-------+ +---E---+
E = Ethercard | pci1 | | pci4 | | pax |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
|hermes1| |hermes4| | |
+---S---+ +---S---+ +-------+
| |
+--------------+
pci1 = 138.96.24.97
hermes1 = 138.96.56.33
hermes4 = 138.96.56.51
netmask = 255.255.255.0
======> I have done:
pci1# route add default pci1
pci1# ifconfig sl0 inet hermes1 netmask 255.255.255.0
pci1# slattach /dev/tty00
pci1# route add hermes4 hermes1
and:
pci4# ifconfig sl0 inet hermes4 netmask 255.255.255.0
pci4# slattach /dev/tty00
pci4# route add default hermes4
======> What can I do?:
pci1#ping hermes4 OK
pci1#telnet hermes4 OK
pci1#telnet pax (or to any other in the net) OK
I use the name server in 138.96.24.250 (file resolv.conf)
pci4#ping pci1 OK
pci4#ping hermes1 OK
pci4#telnet pci1 OK
======> What is the problem?:
I'm not able to reach pax (or any other) from hermes4.
There is complete conectivity from pci1 but from hermes4 I can't reach
but pci1 (hermes1).
======> More questions:
If I have to rebuild the kernel whit other options, does some one can
give me the directions or direct me to the good doc please (I have never
done that)?
Is PPP supported in the binary distribution?, I have tryed it as:
pci1#pppd -l netmask 255.255.255.0 /dev/tty00 9600 hermes1:hermes4
pci4#pppd -l netmask 255.255.255.0 /dev/tty00 9600 hermes4:hermes1
but I get the messages:
... pppd[95]: ioctl(TIOCSETD): Operation not supported by device
What do you think the problem is?.
Do you have any suggestions about using SLIP or PPP in my
configuration?, I'm looking for the best performance and I wont use
modems.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE
