I am running NetBSD-1.1 (Amiga), and I can't seem to get my machine to do
any packet forwarding.
When connected both to a local ethernet network, and to a ppp dialup
connectionnn, it doesn't route packets between them.
I have "options GATEWAY" in my kernel, and I am running "routed -g -s".
I am concerned with an error I have recently been getting when
/etc/netstart is run. Here is the problem:
sh$ route add garfield localhost
writing to routing socket: File exists
add host garfield: gateway localhost: File exists
This error didn't use to happen, but I can't remember what change started
it!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil.
