5. I now add a default gateway to B
route add -net default gw 192.168.1.1
(this being the IP address of the router itself) and with this setup I can access the web quite freely from machine B.
6. The other two machines (A and C) each have default gateway B.
7. However, from neither of the other machines can I access the web at all.
8. This contrasts, however, with the behaviour when B is used to dial-up using an ordinary phone modem. Kppp does the business, and when it's done there's a default route on B via PPP through interface ppp0 to the outside world.
With this, and default routes on A and C as above, unchanged, all 3 machines can access the web freely.
Hi Ted, I'm coming into this thread a bit late (and someone may have already suggested this) but have you tried route add -net default gw 192.168.1.1 on machines A & C?
