Greetings all

I'm hoping someone can assist in my presenting the correct ampr.org
address to the radio network when I masquerade my local network
of machines.

For historic reasons I have 3 ampr.org addresses on the one PC (due
to them originally being 3 PCs!!) - these being JNOS as the radio
interface (no - I don't wish to change this as the panacea for all ills),
the convers and the DNS. The local network now runs under the
standard 192.168.... class C addresses. I wish to masquerade as
a 4th ampr.org address - this being my own (which is not assigned
to any physical machine at present).

Time for a diagram...

and what I'm running

RedHat 4.2
Kernel version 2.0.35
ipfwadm-2.3.0-2         as supplied with RH 4.2


The problem is I can't get masquerade to appear as anything other than
the Linux end of the pseudo-SLIP link to the JNOS. I've tried aliasing
the address I wish to use (44.131.161.112) to the ethernet port, to
the sl0 end of the point-to-point and even creating another SLIP
device using slattach (sl1) but it fails (ie. no route). I've tried using
the -W switch of ipfwadm to define the interface and I've tried
using the -V switch to define the address but no go.

Is there a kernel problem here or is the version of ipfwadm up the
creek - or do I have to upgrade to 2.1.x and use chaining?

BTW - if anyone knows a URL for info on using diald with masquerade
I'd like it (for non-ham related activity) - can't find out what interface
to point the masqerade stuff at!!

Cheers
