Re: route to/from xover box
Hi Mark,
I'm not sure I understand your setup. Is the x.x.x.145 machine your
router or your ISP's? What do the routing tables look like for each
machine you control? From my experience, an upstream connection is
usually placed on a bridge network such as a /30. You may want to try
something like transparent bridging...

If I were you, I'd expediate that switch. Unless you're going to do some
sort of firewall or proxy, a $20 hub will get you by and would make life a
lot simpler.
