Currently the 'modem' is out of the gateway machine... I'm just trying
to
get the two boxes [ one linux gateway and one Win-95 box ]
to be able to communicate.
So I guess I'm wondering why this routing table
doesn't work on the Linux box?
netstat -nr
192.168.127.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1500 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 3584 0 0 lo
The Win-95 box has the Linux Boxe's IP# 192.168.127.65 as it's Gateway.
Is it just possible that this is a hardware problem?

This would be the Win-95 box.

This would be the Linux box.
