route

I have a small network: 2PCs and Amiga. (I'll call them A,B,C)

The 2 PCs (A,B) have winXP and Ethernet cards and they are connected to
a switch with UTP cable. Amiga (C) is connected to one of them (B) with
nullmodem cable (mdmcisco.inf).

Here are the IPs:
1st PC (A) 10.1.86.138 (IIRC)
2nd PC (B) 10.1.92.196 192.168.1.1
Amiga (C) 192.168.1.2

I CAN ping:
A,C from B
B from A,C

but I cannot ping:
A from C
C from A

here is output from route print >C:file (done on B)

BTW, cable modem is also connected to switch and A,B can connect to
Internet with it (default gateway is from ISP)

I need computers A and C to "see" each other.
Any reply is highly appreciated.

Sounds as if Computer B does not have 'ip forwarding' active to allow
packets to flow from A to C thru B.....

This may be more of a question to be posted in the MS Windows newsgroup.

You have to have a process that routes packets between the 10.1.92.196
interface to the 192.168.1.1 interface. As far as I know, Windows
won't do that for you. (Linux would do this easily.)

I understand that and I would like to use Linux but there are some
problems.

I don't know practicaly anything about it (just tried using it once).
It would have to be something like Knoppix; Linux on a CD or floppy
disk (routing is all I need) cause I really dont need repartition, dual
boot and stuff.
BTW, what was the name of distro that worked on fat32?
where am i gonna find Linux drivers for my network card and especially
for nullmodem link to Amiga?

There is a registry hack for windows that turns them into routers, but
it didn't work for me. If you have any info about that please email me.

@Jerry
Sorry for posting [OT] message, I just presumed someone here knew how
to solve my problem.

Finally it WORKS now ))

it seems that the problem was in mdmcisco.inf, when I tried this :

http://bwinton.latte.ca/Palm/ppp.html
(I also disabled socks on Amiga side, maybe that was problem)
everything is OK

Thanks everybody for help.
I wish you a Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
