Re: Switchless TCP/IP networking?

Hi, Eric. Thanks for responding.

Do you plan to have an outside connection to the internet on one of
these systems? Then you should also define default gateways on each
system. The internet box needs the router as default gateway. I.E. A is
the internet box, the default gateways can be defined as follows:

No, the 4 machines are isolated. No internet access.

I am sure, there are other solutions to forward traffic.

A friend suggested setting up one or more boxes as bridges.
Is one inherently simpler to do than another?

May i ask you why you are thinking of such a network structure?

I'm doing some OS/middleware fault testing and the switch/hub
needs to be eliminated as a variable (for good or ill)
