Routing...<BR>
The request came from 66... (not 44...)<BR>
The remote browser [and mine is similar] is serviced by the host stack (66...), not the jnos stack (44...).<BR>
So the FROM IP is a 66... address. My jnos can't legit route IP 66... out the radio. Actually - if I was willing to manually add his 66... IP to the jnos route table to service his site uniquely it has proven to work - but his IP is dynamic and the solution is too narrow. His site can not offer reciprocity - probably because my lan is the private class C IP number...<BR>
<BR>
Think of it this way:<BR>
The solution should support two independent class C networks existing geographically remote to each other interconnected by a static 44 network of one to many hops. The solution should also fit on top of any encaps that exist to tunnel thru internet from site to site. <BR>
Seems to me other configurations might be simpler than that - so those configurations simplify the above solution?<BR>
<BR>
Our examples work OK where the LAN user (FROM IP unrestricted) obtains service (telnet and http) from jnos node 44... site.<BR>
Our examples work OK where the jnos bbs user (FROM IP 44...) obtains service (telnet & smtp) from remote network 44 sites.<BR>
Our examples fail where one user on the LAN uses 44... network to obtain service (any) from a site remote to the site of entry into the 44... network.<BR>
<BR>
So far - no solution (yes Jay we will keep looking).<BR>
