- Ok ok here is what i know....
- I have linked my machines at home and 1 of them is net linked ..
- the machines at home can talk to 1 another and 1 of them can talk to the net
- because it is on a dial up line. it is the gateway machine
- From the gate way machine i can ping my home machines and the
- net. from any machines at home i can ping each other but not the net..
- In fact i can send a ping out to the net ... but it never comes back
-
- The problem is that my net provider does not know where to send packets for
- the machines at my home. The machines at home need to have their ip
- address's assigned by the net provider. thus you need another account. this
- account has to be setup so as it send s all packets 4 it to the gateway
- machine.
-
- so if your home machines were (gateway) 111.111.111.100 and 111.111.111.101
- for the other machine at home your provider would have to send all packects
- for either machine to the gateway machine 111.111.111.100 and that machine
- would have to decide where they should go.
-
- Most providers won't do this as it creates lots of problems. A better
- soloution would be to get a subnet. (a subset of ip's for all your machines)
- Then by using a net mask all machines could talk to the net as the subnet
- would be assigned to your dial up ip and you would sort out where all the
- packets for the entire subnet would go ...
-
- Does any of the above make sense .. hmmmmm
-
- there ya go
