Very Computer

        Hi everyone.  I know this is a pretty common problem and there are FAQ
materials
concerning it, but I'm still stuck.

        I'm running a Linux 1.1.59 box as a SLIP server which is connected to our
local
Ethernet subnet.  Its got a standard 14.4k modem on one of the COM ports with a
test
SLIP client (regular old PC w/ WFW311 and Chameleon's TCP/IP stack) on the
other end.
        The client connects to the server fine, and you can ping/telnet/ftp/etc to
and from
the client/server.  You cannot, however, do the same from the client to any other
machine on
our Ethernet or from any other machine on the Ethernet to the client.  I have
compiled in IP
Forwarding on the server (but I don't know how to check to make sure its working).  
And I am
using ProxyARP (I think).  Still, no dice.  I can't get past the Linux box in either
direction.
So, things look like this:

   Ethernet                           eth0  SLIP Server  sl0                                             SLIP
Client
   |---------------------------------------------|                   |--------------------------------------------|      
          |
   164.179.103.192        164.179.103.219        164.179.103.232        
164.179.103.233
   subnet 255.255.255.192

   So, the Ethernet is 164.179.103.192 subnet 255.255.255.192
        Slip Server's eth0 is 164.179.103.219
        Slip Server's sl0   is  164.179.103.232
        Slip Client's           is  164.179.103.233
        Subnet Router      is   164.179.103.252

  Server's routing table:
    Destination      GW         Genmask         Flags   Iface
    164.179.103.233         *           255.255.255.255   UH            sl0
    164.179.103.232         *           255.255.255.255        UH            sl0
    164.179.103.192            *                          *               U     eth0
    loopback           *                255.0.0.0                 U      lo
    default               164.179.103.252                 *               UG    eth0

  arp -a
   164.179.103.232  00:00:C0:49:9A:73
   164.179.103.233  00:00:C0:49:9A:73
   164.179.103.252  00:00:A2:00:1A:FD

  ifconfig
    sl0 Link encap: VJ Serial Line IP
    inet addr: 164.179.103.232  P-t-P: 164.179.103.233  Mask: 255.255.255.192
    UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING      MTU:1006        Metric: 1
    etc...

    eth0        Link encap: 10MBs Ethernet      HW Addr: 00:00:C0:49:9A:73
    inet addr: 164.179.103.219  Bcast: 164.179.103.255   Mask:255.255.255.192
    UP BROADCAST RUNNING
    etc...

        I have the Client pointing to 164.179.103.232 as its default Gateway.  
Anyone see
any outright mistakes?  Please respond to this group or send email to:

I'm basing my response on what I understood of your diagram, it
got lost in screen overlap.

In this situation you probably shouldn't use proxy arp. You should
either run a routing daemon like gated/routed to advertise the
subnet to the hosts on the big ethernet, or have the machines on
the other side manually route to the subnet using your linux server
as the gateway. How you do this is going to be dependent on the
nature of the machines on the other side.
