SPARCbook Portable Workstation User Guide
The network illustrated in Figure 9-1 shows two SPARCbooks,
schooner and ketch, connected remotely via a PPP link to an
organization’s primary network. The machine champagne provides
dial-in PPP services for the two SPARCbooks. Notice that the dial-in
server has separate host names and IP addresses for PPP link and its
primary network interface.
For example, to allow ketch to communicate with systems connected to
the primary network, the hosts file for ketch might contain the
following:
#
# Internet host table
#
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.3.5.21
ketch loghost
#my mobile SPARCbook

192.3.5.10
