Routing in Genesis

[motorollin]

I have asked about this before, but I didn't fully understand the answer, and this is a different situation so I suspect the answer will be different :-) My Amiga is connected via Ethernet and can access the Internet. I am trying to configure vlink.device to give ShapeShifter access to the Internet. My IP configuration is as follows:

Router
10.0.0.1 Ethernet

Amiga
10.0.0.178 fastethernet.device 0
192.168.1.1 vlink.device 0

Shapeshifter
192.168.1.2 vlinkmirror.device 0

The Amiga can access the Internet, ping the router, and ping ShapeShifter. ShapeShifter can ping both addresses on the Amiga. It cannot, however, ping the router, or access the Internet. I guess I need to set up a route between fastethernet.device and vlink.device. This is detailed in the documentation for vlink, but if focuses on Miami, and I can't work out how to do it in Genesis.

Assitance would be appreciated :-)

So are you saying that Genesis is working as I need it to, but I need to configure the route back to the 192.168.1.0 network in to my router?

That would make sense, as I can ping 10.0.0.178 from Shapeshifter and get replies, which suggests that Genesis is passing the packet from 192.168.1.1 to 10.0.0.178, which then replies through Genesis acting as a gateway, but the router doesn't know how to contact the 192.168.1.0 network so sends the packet to the Internet.

I will play with my router tonight. Cheers! :-)

Well you were right, I needed to add a static route to the 192.168.1.0 network. I'm typing this reply in iCab browser within ShapeShifter :-)

It's very slow though. I might try it connected directly to the Ethernet (not through vlink) and see if that's faster. If it is then I will buy a second network card for my Amiga.

Thanks again!

You can't use the same NIC in AmiTCP and ShapeShifter, which is why you either have to bridge the emulator on your physical card with vlink, or use a separate physical NIC.

Hmmmm intriguing :-) Will try this tomorrow. Thanks!
