I'm running SCO 5.0.6 at Location "A" , I have 5 PC's at Location "B" - Win/98. These PC's Telnet into the SCO Computer @ Location "A" via cable modems & Linksys Routers.
This all works fine.
I want to print to a HPLaser at Location "B". The HPLaser Jet is connected to a HP JetDirect - IP # 192.168.1.103

The SCO Unix Host is IP# 192.168.1.101
Location "A" Cable Modem Static IP# 24.129.179.x
Location "B" Cable Modem Static IP# 24.129.182.x

The Linksys Routers both have Port 23 enabled.
I can ping both Modems, But I can't Telnet to the Location "B" JetDirect Print Server.

What would be the Route statement on the SCO Unix Server?
Do I use the Modem's Gateway or Static IP Address?
How would the Route add line look like?
Route add ??????????????? .


Thanks in Advance

Tim

 
what is your netmask in:
location A
location B

if it is 255.255.255.0 then since your telnet sessions work then your routing should be fine. I do think it is a problem that both locations are 192.168.1.x
Are these two locations VPN'd through the routers?
the route command has the general format:

route add destinationnetwork gatewayhost
(there are other options, see man route)
 
Can you ping the 5 PCs on location B from the SCO box in location A ? If yes, use the traceroute command to see the route used.

Hope This Help
PH.
