I have a Windows laptop and a Sparc desktop. I'm trying to toy around with routing.
If have always on broadband from BT. My router ipaddress is:
192.168.1.1
This router uses DHCP.
My Laptop Ip is as follows:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : home
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.3
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
I don't want to use DHCP on my Sparc desktop and I have plumbed the interface as follows:
interface bge0:
IP address: 10.0.0.2
Netmask 255.255.255.0
I want to add a route in the router's routing table to enable me to ping or telnet from my windows laptop to my sparc desktop. I can't seem to get
the netmask or gateway correct.
The router asks for the following:
Add New Static Route
Destination \(For default route, type 0.0.0.0 or leave blank\)
IP Address:
Netmask:
Forward packets to
Gateway IP address:
How do I achieve adding this route?
Thanks in advance.
