- I'm trying to get a slip connection going between my machine at work and my
- machine at home. The work machine is connected to our campus ethernet and
- running TCP/IP 1.2.1 (os/2 2.0). The home machine is also running OS/2 2.0
- and the slip portion of TCP/IP (ie, no network). I want to connect from home
- to the work machine and thereby gain access to the campus network.
-
- The big question: can my work machine act as a slip server in this fashion?
-
- If so, I'm real confused about what sort of IP addresses to assign to the
- various interfaces. The docs are little help. Should they all be on the same
- subnet? Should the slip interface on the work machine use the same IP
- address as the ethernet board? If the machine at work is going to act as a
- router, then I would assume I need to assign the slip connection an entirely
- different subnet. Bad assumption? And finally (*whew*) what sort of routing
- entries do I need on both machines.
-
- I've tried configuring this thing several ways, and the home machine has no
- obvious problems connecting (I get a connect message and carrier doesn't go
- away, so I guess I've connected!), but no data gets exchanged. If I ping the
- work machine I get 100% packet loss.
-
- I would really appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks
