Are the routing tables setup to send packets to SERVER1 in order to get to your machine? This can be done a couple of ways. 1) You can create a permanent ARP entry in SERVER1 for your host, which causes all network traffic to your box to be addressed to SERVER1, which already knows how to get to you. This way works if you will always connect to SERVER1 and your SLIP address is in the same subnet as the machines you are connecting to. 2) Create an route entry in SERVER1 to let all of the machines on that network know that to get to your SLIP box you must route all of the traffic to SERVER1. This is the most 'dynamic' approach, but it requires that all machines on the network be running routed or other routing software. > SERVER1 Ethernet interface = server1.domain1 > SERVER1 slip interface = server_slip.slipdomain > myworkstation = ws1.domain1 (at work) > freebsd at home slip = myslip.slipdomain. (1.1.5.1 with IPFORWARD and GATEWAY > options compiled in ) These aren't necessary if your slip machine doesn't have a network of machines it is connected to which need to use your SLIP connection as their connection to the world. > Any ideas ? Local admin guy doesn't know the problem. Does the local admin guy have much experience with routers? Nate
