HPUX connecting thru Solaris to Internet

[slymac]

I have an HP9000 running HPUX v10 and I also have a Sparcstation 5 running solaris 7. The Sparcstation is my connection to the internet on my internal network. It runs Apache.

I am trying to get my unix box to see the internet. If I ping an internet ip address from the sun box it will see it, just as if I ftp or telnet to an internet site, I can connect. Problem is if I do the same thing from my hp box, it doesn't see outside our internal network. Both machines have ip addresses on my internal network. I can telnet to the sun box from the hp and then do whatever, though.

I need to find a way to make my hp box see thru my sun box. I would think it would require some setup on both machines but I'm not sure how to do this or if it would work.

Does anyone have any ideas? If not to just send me in the correct direction!
Thanks

One solution is to activate in.routed on your Sun box.
look at the man pages for in.routed
That your Sun will act as a router and your HP box should see the net.
