I don't think you've said if the Linux host is acting as a router for the Mac host, or if this is just a private LAN. But in either case, the Linux host does not need to run routed ... the kernel's own routing table, managed with "route" or "ip" (depends on the distro and kernel version), can handle both LAN access and the simple sorts of routing that home and small-business routers do. Routed can be useful in more complicated routing setups, but it's been so long since I used it that I can't offhand tell you much about its use. -- -----------------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"-------------- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, California, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
