Very Computer

Is anyone using Solaris as a router with dynamic IP over ISDN.

I have a Sparc running Solaris 2.7 with ISDN 1.0.4, and I have been
unable to configure it to work as a router for my local network.
At present, netstat -nr gives the following output:

    Routing Table:
      Destination           Gateway           Flags  Ref   Use
Interface
    -------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------
---------
    0.0.0.0              192.168.1.10          UH       2      0  ifppp0
    192.168.0.0          192.168.0.2           U        3      0  le0
    224.0.0.0            192.168.0.2           U        3      0  le0
    127.0.0.1            127.0.0.1             UH       0    962  lo0

What is still missing, obviously, is the network entry.
According to my understaning, this should be accomplished by:

    route add -net default 0.0.0.0 2

When I try this, however, I get the error message:

    add net default: gateway 0.0.0.0: Network is unreachable

I don't understand this: 0.0.0.0 should be reachable, via 192.168.1.10
(the ISDN interface); the host connection to 0.0.0.0 is declared
up.

The file /etc/hostname.ifppp0 contains gabi-isdn, which is
assigned IP 192..168.1.10 in /etc/hosts.  (This also causes an
error messsage when booting, to the effect that the interface
is not active; the rc file for ISDN is one of the last
executed in startup.)

Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

Basically what are you trying to do? Are you trying to do NAT between your
private network and your ISDN ISP?

If so then what you are doing is not going to work.  You will have to get
some kind of NAT software.  There is a freeware version out there called
IP_Filter.  Really good software running here.  I have a ss10 running 2.7,
ppp3.0.1 and I dial with my ss10 and use my machine as a router.

So if you define a default rought the machine will not be a router
go to the site listed below to help you out:

give that a try and let me know

intersting, sorry for this offtopic msg.
i have heard, isdn 1.0.4 isn't support, and from other
side, it does not work with sol 7

did you upgrade to sol 7 or new install with scratch ?
and which hardware platform are you using ?

Works fine (and I believe it's even supported)

I went to the main Sun site: ISDN 1.0.4 was the latest version available

New install.

An ancient Sun Sparc Classic.  I don't know the exact references, but it
is about 5 years old.

Right.  I've moved the private network IP addresses into the reserved
area, but to date, have been unable to connect to the outside.

I find it a bit surprising that a company that advertises that "the
network is the computer" is unable to do something this basic.  But I've
had similar surprises in the past.

It looks like what I am trying to do, although I have the impression at
present that I'm not able to get out, period, regardless of any IP
address translation or not.  The route simply doesn't get into the
router table.
