Mikkelson) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd Subject: How do you set up a gateway? Date: 20 May 1994 15:27:38 GMT Organization: St. Elizabeth Hospital, Youngstown, OH Lines: 13 Message-ID: <2rikta$892@news.ysu.edu> Reply-To: ap713@yfn.ysu.edu (Christopher L. Mikkelson) NNTP-Posting-Host: yfn2.ysu.edu I have a network of 3 machines connected by ethernet, and one machine that occasionally connects by SLIP to my machine. For such an arrangement, is it necessary for me to set up a gateway on my machine? At this time, the remote system can connect by SLIP and to full TCP/IP networking with my machine, but not the others on the network. Should I configure my machine as a gateway? if so, how do I do it? BTW, I'm Running FreeBSD 1.0, if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance, -Chris --
