[Gc-linux-devel] Networking the cube

[Kevin S. <ks...@sh...>]

Hey guys,

I have a slighty problem.  I have 2 nic cards, and i want to route them 
together.

SMC #1 as NICA
SMC #2 as NICB

NICA ---> router(192.168.1.1) ---> cable modem ----> internet
NICB ---> Gamecube(192.168.0.47)

NICA ip address is 192.168.1.101 gw 192.168.1.1
NICB ip address is 192.168.0.49

oh, btw this is in a windows environment

I've tried WIN ICS and it changes the ip of NICB to 192.168.0.1, which then 
loses connection of the nbd server(root filesystem), and Gc-linux is broken. 
What i guess i need is either A) recompile kernel to load root filesystem 
from 192.168.0.1 or figure out how to route NICA, to NICB correctly.

any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Kevin Sucre

If you have Windows XP you can select both connections
and click "Bridge" - this will merge them into one
interface exactly as you want.

I have the same thing but on a FreeBSD server;

NIC A ---> router ---> internet
NIC B ---> gigabit switch ---> multiple platforms
NIC C (54mbit wireless) --> laptops

By bridging A and B, you effectively create yourself
a software ethernet switch which the machine treats
as a single IP address. As long as you configure
each machine on the network properly (ip, subnet,
gateway etc.) it will all Just Work (tm).

Any firewall configured for the bridge interface
will act on packets from all original interfaces
(this is great as it allows you to have multiple
physical lans controlled by one firewall)

With Windows 2000 and below you may have a little trouble
because it's not built in; last time I checked there
was a little tool called EtherBridge (website at -
http://www.ntkernel.com/utilities/etherbridge.shtml)
which worked, but that site's been down for a
while for me. I have a copy of the last version I used
if you want to try it.

Instead of 'you guys' recompiling the kernel you can also open the .DOL
in a binary/hex editor and search for 192.168 to change the IP of the
cube. The ip of the NBD server is in a comperssed initrd, so that won't
be changed this way. Using an NFS-root kernel and a Windows NFS server,
it could also work.

I don't understand exactly what you mean by "route together". I would
guess you need masquerading in the router so you can access the internet
from the Gamecube (but it seems you are describing something else).

As Matt sugested you can also configure your router as a bridge. That
gets you the same result as if you connected the Gamecube, the router
and the cable modem to the same hub (which would leave one nic in router
unused and it would no longer be a router). With this setup you might
not be able to access the internet with the Gamecube since it doesn't
have a valid IP-address for internet access. OR the Gamecube will
allocate a valid IP-address (in the same way as the router does), but
your internet provider might not allow this.

(Or is it the cable modem that hands out the IP-addresses and also acts
as a masquerade router?)

This one is quite simple. Since you use 192.168.1.x IPs you can share 
your internet conection from NICA. In my windows it is just check box 
and then you are up and running.

Windows XP (dunno about the rest yet.)
Propeties on NICA, Click the tab Advanced, and check the box "Alown 
users to acess internet throu this computer" and it should work.
(I got a swedish windows xp so this tranclation is probably not the best.)
