Routing seems to be working properly. From the FreeBSD Machine I can ping the Netware Machine (which is running TCPIP.NLM) and it sees the netware box fine. From The FreeBSD Machine, I can ping other hosts on the InterNet Just Fine. From the Netware Machine, I can Ping the FreeBSD Machine just fine; however, The Netware Machine cannot seem to see anything past the FreeBSD Machine (Not even the Machine the FreeBSD Machine is SLIPing with). There is a blurb in the FreeBSD.FAQ file refering to "gated" and freeBSD not Forwarding IP. It suggest recompiling the kernet with the gated option in the kernel's option file. My Question is do I need to do this to get the FreeBSD system to pass IP through to the InterNet, and if so....Big Question HOW???? I do not know what a kernel configuration file is...Would not know where to look for it or even how to begin to execute a recompiling command. Can someone please help me????
