MOL

[wcrowshaw@yahoo.com]

Sometime last month there was a thread about connecting MOL to the
linux install running it using a faux ethernet connection.
After alot of experimentation and the some kind assistance from
another poster I have managed to make this connection.   I can
mount my linux home directory as a AppleShare Volume on the MOL
side. Pretty damn cool!

Yet, I am not completely satisfied.  With the proper set up, I thought
as well that I could ftp or telnet into the linux install running MOL.
But I haven't managed to do so. I would like to even run a web browser
on the MOL side and surf the internet through the faux ethernet
connection.  If any one could give me some tips, I would really
appreciate it.
 
Here are details about my linux setup
an ethernet with two hosts.  The ethernet is 192.168.1.0 (localnet) and the
hosts are 192.168.1.1 (zooey), my installs hostname, and 192.168.1.2 (fran).
I have the ethernet interface eth0 connected to zooey and my current
kernel routing table looks like this:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
127.0.0.1       127.0.0.1       255.255.255.255 UGH       0 0          0 lo
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0

On the MOL side, I have the following setup:
AppleTalk Control Panel "Connect Via" set to "Ethernet"
and AppleTalk activated.
TCP/IP Control Panel "Connect Via" set to "Ethernet"
                     "Configure" set to "Manually"
I.P. Address set to 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask set to 255.255.255.0
Router Address set to 192.168.1.1
All other fields are left blank.

Like I said, this setup allows me to mount linux directories as AppleShare
Volumes, but it does not allow me to telnet, ftp to linux.  It also
does not allow me to browse the internet (once I have established a ppp
connection to my isp). How should I change this setup to make these things
happen?  Should I make zooey a nameserver, as well as a router?
I have done alot of experimenting with the kernel routing tables, but
to know avail.

Once again, help would be greatly appreciated.  Once I get everything
working, I am planning to write a detailed how-to about connecting
MOL through ethernet to the Linux side of things.

Thanks,
