This is what I have done so far. This is my net file: |
45 |
|
46 |
config_eth0=( "192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.0.255" ) |
47 |
routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.1.4" ) |
48 |
|
49 |
So that should have fireball at a static IP right? Now when I add the |
50 |
other puter, I can set its IP to something different, say 192.168.1.6, |
51 |
and then I know what their IPs will be and can ssh in or whatever |
52 |
without having to dig around to find out the IP address. |
53 |
|
54 |
So far, this seems to be working. It took me a bit to figure out what |
55 |
to set the route to. That should be the modem. At first, I could |
56 |
access the router but nothing beyond that. Adding the route helped. I |
57 |
can even get to google. |

What have I done wrong so far? |
