Done. The firewall now has 192.168.1.1 as ihostWireless and 192.168.0.1 as ihostLan. The laptop (bigbird) is 192.168.1.3, both on the Windows and Linux OS. The desktop (Windows98, wired) is 192.168.0.2. Everything works (or not, as the case may be) as before. No more or less.The routes on the firewall now are: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 66.69.80.0 * 255.255.240.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 66.69.80.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 ifconfig gives: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:29:46:C2:66 inet addr:66.69.86.2 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.240.0 UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6712 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:726 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:23 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:1108767 (1.0 Mb) TX bytes:91508 (89.3 Kb) Interrupt:9 Base address:0xf880 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:C6:E7:2B:7C inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1110 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1269 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:116557 (113.8 Kb) TX bytes:782544 (764.2 Kb) Interrupt:5 Base address:0xf400 eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:F1:11:1C:11 inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:480 (480.0 b) Interrupt:3 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:116 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:116 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:8120 (7.9 Kb) TX bytes:8120 (7.9 Kb) Is it possible that the pcmcia card is using a different interrupt on the Windows and Linux side and that makes a difference? I'm not sure I'd even know where to look. cdh Paul Anderson wrote: > On Mon, 17 Jun 2002, Carol Horwitz wrote: > > >>The "spaghetti" reference is definitely true, but remember that this >>very same inelegant structure works when I use the laptop under Windows >>2000. >> >> > It shouldn't:) > > >>I'd like to clean this up anyway, and see if it can possibly help.
