- What capabilities do the gateway and Server have? RIP? Despite what IP
- addresses you set for the ethernet interfaces, it matters what routing
- you setup. Also is the ethernet communal or separate(are all of the
- above on a thinnet-10b2 common segment, or is it twisted pair-10bT
- between the gateway and server, server and clients. Is there a ether hub
- between the server and the clients?)
- Sounds like you have different ether segments so here is what a model
- might look like:
-
- gateway server clients
- ethernet interface ether interface
- xx.yy.zz.1<--------> 1: xx.yy.zz.2
- 2: xx.yy.zz.3<----->xx.yy.zz.??
- routing:
- xx.yy.zz.0 255.255.255.0 xx.yy.zz.2
-
- routing:
- (default)0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 xx.yy.xx.1
-
- routing:
- (default) 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 xx.yy.zz.3
-
-
- Hopefully the server is capable of RIP otherwise you might have to do static
- IP routing on the server to the various clients.
