I had a problem like this and fixed it by using a dedicated PC running
KA9Q nos as the machine which has the slip link and the internal ethernet.
You dont need an expensive machine for the NOs box , Im using an old 286,you 
could even use an XT if you still had one although you may need a 16550
uart on the slip port.
This way all the machines on the home network can see the world and each 
other.
