So, I've got ip masquerading going on Thunderbird, in Slack.

I've got W2K running on Vehicle and Entheos, who are plugged
into eth1, the gateway, 192.168.0.1.

In Doze, D:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc ==
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 Thunderbird
192.168.0.2 Vehicle
192.168.0.3 Entheos
192.168.0.4 ABI-Quality

"Copyright ... Microsoft"???!?!?!?!!! What an arrogant asshole.
</commentary>

and everybody pings everybody, I'm posting with Butthook Distress,
being forwarded through ip masquerading on Slack on Thunderbird.

I've created a Morphodite! (yes, I know there's no such word, but
everybody seems to use it to mean "Monster," probably a perversion
of "Hermaphrodite.")

I'm kinda ooked out by the fact that just by putting name/ip pairs
in the appropriate /etc/hosts, that it acts like it knows everything,
or something. But I guess that's about all that all the automagic
stuff does.

And y'know? If it hadn't been for Linux RTFMs, I'd never have
guessed in 10^6 years that Doze has such a thing as an /etc/hosts file.

Heck, Entheos and Vehicle show up on each other's "My Network Places;"
I wonder what The Gates of Hell would think to know that I've got
two of his virus holes talking to each other via Linux. :-)

Bwahahahaaaaa!

Cheers!

Next task then looks like a caching DNS server on Thunderbird so you don't
need to bother fiddling about with Gate's intellectual property (i.e. the
Window's hosts file)

History lesson time. Almost all of the MS networking code and the files
that go with it are BSD code. MS paid for the right to put the MS name on
them as it says you can do in the BSD lisance. MS complains about open
source licances a lot but they don't mention how much of there own OS counts
one it to to work. I think the ftp program is also BSD code.

Anal-retention reigns in your life. That's too bad. The world
