I have here a network with 2 Potato boxen, 1 Win98 and 1 Win95
working. I setup one Debian box with ipmasq. All NICs are statically
configured (no DHCP). On the 'doze box I set one of the Debian boxes
as the default gateway. I set a static IP and no WINS. I have a
D-Link switch physically connecting the boxes.
Can the 'doze box ping itself? By localhost or 127.0.0.1? By it's
external IP address?
The biggest issue I had, once I had ipmasq installed, was the 'doze
boxes not cooperating with Samba.
If you want more specifics on how I configured the doze systems I can
turn one on tomorrow and see what it says. On the Debian systems I
use /etc/hosts to set names for the machines.
