Hi All, I have a BPQ32 install that I would like to get on the 44Net.? I also have an existing ampr-ripd gateway on a seperate Linux box.? I've done some research and come up with the following IPGATEWAY definition.? Before I actually add this to my config file, I'd like those that know this stuff better than I do, to eyeball it and let me know if it is (likely) correct.? I tried a few other IPGATEWAY configs and broke things pretty badly (fortunately I was able to recover from them quickly).? So now, I want to check with you all.
IPGATEWAY
?
Adapter \Device\NPF_{ECDB1154-982B-48D3-A394-785AC42588E3}? # Windows adapter from bpqadapters.exe
IPAddr 10.1.10.12? ? ? ? ? ?# IP address of the BPQ32 switch on my LAN (I do have an allocated 44Net address [44.52.67.2], should this be that or the actual IP?)
IPNetmask 255.255.255.248? ? # Netmask of my AMPRNet allocation
IPPorts 1? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? # BPQ Port I will use for links to IP systems.
?
ROUTE 44.0.0.0/9 44.52.67.1 #With no "local" encap file, I think i need to add this route.? 44.52.67.1 is my 44Net gateway, or do I use it's local LAN address of 10.1.10.5?
ROUTE 44.128.0.0/10 44.52.67.1 #Same here, which IP do I use?
****
Do I need a NAT statement for the BPQ box to translate the 44Net address to the LAN address?? If the above is correct (or when the above is correct), I assume it will allow me to make AX/IP connections to other 44Net addresses.
Your expert guidance is appreciated!

Why do you want to run IPGATEWAY? If it is only to allow you to
access 44 NET addresses you should only need to add routes to
44.0.0.0/9 and 44.128.0.0/10 to your windows machine pointing to
your 44 Gateway machine.
IPGATEWAY is needed to route IP packets over your RF links, and/or
to run an AMPRNET gateway if you don't already have one.

Hi John, ? Thanks for the reply!? I didn’t include this in my original post (although I should have)…? my goal is to set up my BPQ Node to use AX/IP links to both “internet” and 44Net connected stations, and my understanding is that to do so requires an IPGATEWAY config section.? If I just need to set up routes in Windows, then I should be good.? Is that the case? ? ?

Yes, it should work with the Windows routes and no IPGATEWAY.

Thanks John, ? I added the two routes suggested, and? a second NIC to the Windows box and gave it my allocated 44Net address for the node.? I had to delete the default route for the 44 network, then all worked as expected.? Now just awaiting my AX/IP partner to add me to his config. ? Thanks! ? ?

Just to close out on this topic.? I got AX/IP working with alot of help from Charles, N2NOV (Thanks Charles!).? Here's what worked.
Added a second adapter to the BPQ box and assigned my 44net address to it, but did not give it a gateway. Delete all of my 44 net routes (including the default route) as I defined them incorrectly (wrong mask) Added a persistent route to 44.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 and bound it to my ethernet adapter with my 44 net address Updated my BPQ config to include the AX/IP link I wanted Waited a few minutes? Connected
One gotcha though...? doing this seems to have disconnected my UDP connection to another partner with a 44 net address.? Now I can't reach him directly.? We'll solve that by changing to an AX/IP connection.? But that is a gotcha for sure.
Thanks for all the guidance. -- 73,

44net is not 44.0.0.0/8 after the IP address sale a few years ago. Current proper routing netmask is a two parter - 44.0.0.0/9 and 44.128.0.0/10
