The BSD machine is connected to the internet and the linux machine just sits at home doing nothing of interest. In order to get to this machine I must dial through an ANNEX port and telnet to the approrpiate machine. This means I get a dynamic IP. I would like to know whether I can make it so that people can finger my machine at home as if it was connected to the internet. I have a hostname established and a IP address for it. This IP address does belong to another subnet but I can have it changed. Does anybody know how I can set this up ? Looking forward to your replies, Dean Thompson -- _____________________________________________________________________________ | Dean Thompson | E-mail - dtho1@cfs02.cc.monash.edu.au | | Information Systems | koolcat@yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au | | (3rd Year) | dean@trigger.ct.monash.edu.au | | MONASH (Caulfield Campus) | dtho1@silas.cc.monash.edu.au | | Melbourne, Australia | dean@seahorse.ct.monash.edu.au | +------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
