OK - I give up! I've seen this off and on in the message stream, but couldn't find a definitive answer, and it's driving me buggy! I have a FreeBSD box and two Win85 boxes. I want to use my FreeBSD Box as a "dialout" router to connect to an ISP and then route mail, etc from my Win95 boxes through the FreeBSD box. My ISP "hard codes" IP addresses in a subnet that is DIFFERENT from the one I'm using internally (I have a couple of addresses in the ampr.org domain that I'm using). With the help of the handbook, the FAQ and a few friends, I've gotten to the point where pppd can connect to my ISP, and I can ping "outside" addresses from my FreeBSD box. I've also set up my FreeBSD box as a "caching only" DNS, so it knows how to resolve addresses. I can also ping my Win95 boxes from my FreeBSD Box and vice-versa. BUT, when I try to ping an "outside" service, such as mit.edu from my Win95 box, I get "request timed out". It DOES resolve the address, and from the looks of the SD light on the modem (connected to the FreeBSD box), there are at least a few packets being sent to my ISP, but NOTHING comes back. I'm thinking that this has SOMETHING to do with adding a route between the ppp interface and the ethernet interface on my FreeBSD box, but I have NO ideas beyond that. Any and all help would be appreciated! Clay Jackson clayj@seanet.com
