Routing between ethernet and bluetooth

[Guest]

Hi,

I set up a lan based on ethernet. From a machine (called "A") based on
windows 2000 pro, I paned a bluetooth terminal (called "B" with interface
"B-IF"). After this operation, "A" had 2 interfaces up : an interface
relative to its ethernet card (called "A-IF1") and another one due to the
bluetooth link (called "A-IF2"). I configured the right key in the registry
("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip
\Parameters\IPEnableRouter") to enable IP routing and started the service
named "Routing and Remote Access" in the control panel.
I made "routing" tests on a machine loacted on my lan. On this machine I
added a route towards "A-IF1" for "B-IF". From this machine, I can ping
"A-IF2" but I can't ping "B-IF". And with the "tracert" command, I noticed
that the last machine reached was "A-IF1" as if the routing function was not
active between "A-IF1" and "A-IF2" on my Windows 2000 ???

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards.

Mehdi.

You will notice that, in accordance with my first post, "A-IF1"->

Thanks in advance for your help.

do you assign 169.254.x.x to the NIC? or it gets the ip automatically? For more and other information, go to http://howtonetworking.com.

Actually I did nothing, "A-IF2" is automatically set as soon as the bluetooth
link is up. The routes relative to this address ("169.254.185.156") are
automatically added at the same time. And it is systematically the same
address attibuted to this interface.
