I would like to take a peek at his/her results >(or anyone elses who's got this beastie working). All help is very much >appreciated. It's quite easy ( when you know how to ). In my case I have a local LAN, with lots of Unix boxes etc.,so I use our local nameserver for host lookups. In my autoexec.net I have : hostname foo # no need to explain ip address [x.x.x.x] # My host's IP-adress attach packet 0x70 lan 5 1500 # I use a packet driver for # my ethernet card attach asy 0x2f8 2 slip sl0 1024 576 9600 # SLIP on com2 in 9600 bps # Now for the fancy stuff domain add [130.237.72.201] # IP-address of my nameserver # I use only one route add default lan # Obvious route add [y.y.y.y] sl0 # IP-adress at the other end of # the SLIP line arp publish [y.y.y.y] ether 00:00:c0:05:df:15 # One has to know the ethernet # SLIP systems ethernet address # adress of the card. This is # ip-adress of gateway # my card's address of course That, I think, is the most interesting in how to make a gateway. For other needed parameters look in a autoexec from the NET-distribution. Actually, the only NOS specific thing here should be the 'domain' command. You can also use 'domain suffix some.dom.ain' to add a default domain. And since I haven't yet tried a NOS version made this year somathing might have changed. But hopefully not.
