Hello,

	I am still having troubles installing a router using Ka9q
may be I'm just missing something very simple, hope somebody out there
has some hints.

	A PS/2 with 2 3C523's is to be set as a router, one card is
connected to a local thinnet (a Sun is on this  loop along with the PC's)
the other card is connected thru thicknet to netland.  
I think I set the Sun properly , I do a "ping"( from the local loop /Sun) to
a remote machine and I do get the "machine is alive" this leads me  to
believe that I have something wrong on the PC since from a remote machine
a do a 'ping' on the Sun in question and I get no answer.

	the section on my autoexec.net where I define the routing is:

	.
	.
	route add default thick_ether [gateway ip on thicknet]
	route add [local sun ip] thin_ether
	.
	.

	I tried a lot of different combinations but none of them helped, from
the PS/2 everything works(can connect to anywhere).

	Any help appreciated.
