Yes, I believe so. Make sure you configure the ethernet interfaces on
each machine with a sensical address and netmask -
ifconfig eth0 <ipaddress> netmask <netmask>
Now, when you added your route, was it a direct host route to the
portmaster? You must add a route to the network number first, like -
route add -net <network> netmask <netmask>
I would comment out any network or gateway entries first, and try the
above with ip numbers...
