IP routing with a zaurus

Dear All,

I have just acquired a laptop with windows me on it. My setup is as follows

Zaurus PDA - Wifi card at 192.168.1.1

Laptop with wifi card at 192.168.1.2
netowkr card at 192.168.2.10

connected to (via a hub)

ADSL Router at 192.168.2.11

and

Two pcs at 192.168.2.10 & 192.168.2.9 attached to the hub


i.e.

PDA----Laptop------Hub-------Router
¦
¦
pc's


The laptop and pc's connect to the internet fine. The Pda can ping both
addresses on the laptop but nothing else. At this pont I realised I need IP
routing.

I set the registry key to enable this and this in ME (I have got to use me
as I need tv-out and it's the only os driver available).

I now need to set a 'route add' line to the routing table on the laptop (I
think anyway).

This is where I am buggered. I cannot for the life of me work out how to get
the numbers correct and it's bugging the hell out of me.

Any help would be majorly appreciated.

TIA

DrP

This is the reg hack you need on the ME machine. Is it correct?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VxD\MSTCP]
Value Name: EnableRouting = 1
Data Type: (string value)
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)

The default gateway on the 192.168.1.1 needs to point to 192.168.1.2
and the default gateway on the laptop needs to point to the router.
Then you don't need a route on the laptop.

You need a route on the router to tell it to send packets for the
network 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 to go via 192,168.2.10 (the
laptop that is)

Yes, that the hack. You can tell if it's on by running winipcfg. A little
box appears saying Routing Enabled.

I'll try that tonight and see if I have any joy. If I can get this working I
will be delighted.

OK. That's set correctly then.

One other thing. If you want to access the machine at 192.168.1.1 from
the pc's on the other subnet eg 192.168.2.9 then you will need to add
the same static route on the pc's as well as the router.

For machine 192.168.2.9 it would be

route add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.10

No. Forget that. On second thoughts these machines will have a default
gateway set to the router and so the local packets will be
automatically re-directed to the laptop without the need for further
static routes.
