configuration of a linux router

[peasthope@shaw.ca]

Douglas & others,

dt> Now you will have three networks. ...
 ... You shouldn't have to add routes like this ...

Right oh.

dt> change this to 172.23.5.1, and change heaviside's to 172.23.5.2

The revised configuration follows.  Everything 
appears OK now.  There is no hub consuming 
power and two cables rather than three.  

Thanks for the help,   ... Peter E.
