Alan,

Try this:

1) Add a line in /etc/hosts to define a router attached to your second
Ethernet port:

        My router is 192.131.111.1 so I add

        192.131.111.1 houston_x25


2) Add a line to /etc/rc.foxapps to tell the AW which addresses should be
sent to the router

        On my system, I use:

        /usr/sbin/route add default houston_x25 1


3) Use netstat -r before and after. It's kind of interesting.


Do this on both machines.

        Subject:        Ethernet Networking Question


        I have a question regarding setting up the 2nd ethernet port to
access other
        networks via a router.  Here are the details of my system setup:

        AW51C:    112.113.105.1
        Router:        112.113.1.1
        AW51B:         106.106.4.4
        Netmask (51C)  255.255.0.0

        What I am trying to do is access the AW51B from the AW51C.  On the
AW51C, is
        there somewhere where I have to setup the router address so that it
knows where
        to send messages that are outside of the local (112.113) network?
Right now I
        am getting error messages indicating that the 51C can't access the
51B network.

        Thanks,
