Re: (ASCEND) (PIPELINE) What is wrong
Rob,
You didn't mention how the NT machine is going to know how
to return your ping.
It seems to me that your ping from your workstation should have
made it to NT since your PC knew enough to send the ping for the
office Pipe 50 via your home Pipe 50, and NT is on the same network
as the office Pipe 50.
So I suppose NT doesn't have a route to the little home
subnet you set up, and consequently can't reply.
At my office we have just one network within the office, so I gave
our default gateway a static route for my home network via the ascend.
All machines in my office have default routing through that gateway,
which is a firewall to the internet. When I dial in to the ascend,
which is behind the firewall on the same segment as our NT box, and I
ping our NT machine, NT sends the reply to the default gateway. The
default gateway then forwards the packet to the ascend and issues an
ICMP redirect telling NT that the ascend is the more direct route for
future packets. This way I don't have to tell every box on my network
that my home subnet is via the Ascend. Of course, I could also just
run a routing protocol. But I haven't done that yet.
