- 1.) Your provider must know that you have to hosts and route packets for
- two IP addresses to your slip connection. Without this it won't work.
-
- 2.) The router machine must be able to act as router. For NetBSD e.g.
- (you should have told us which OS you are using) you must add
- "options GATEWAY" to the kernel configuration file and recompile it.
