[ProgSoc] routing



Hi

I have a linux box with two PPP links: one to the internet,
(using a modem) the other to a widows machine (direct serial
connection). Routing table looks like this:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
myrna-S1        *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        1 ppp1
max35.syd.ihug. *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
localnet        *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         max35.syd.ihug. 0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        1 ppp0

where:  myrna-S1 is the windows maachine
        max35.syd.ihug.com.au is the dynamic IP from the ISP

I can do everything from the linux box, but the windows machine can't
see beyond the linux box that it is connected to. What can I do? How
do I get the windows machine to pass all packets to the linux box
which then passes them to the internet?

TIA
Geoff

It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct
one.
