Dear FreeBSD.org; I am actually using an own port of the FreeBSD (elderly version) in an = embedded (16 bit) application. This application communicates via http/tcp/ip/ppp (modem) only. It has worked pretty well until I recently should make it connect via a = GPRS modem. I have tested this GPRS modem in Win98, and the difference in settings = is that the checkbox "Use default gateway" _must_ be checked. Now, I have twinkled IP addresses forward and backward in my own "clone" = of FreeBSD but just can't get the ip packets out and back again. The PPP link with all its protocols gets up fine, the addresses is = negotiated via ipcp etc., but when it comes to the first udp dns = request, the packet is just sent out there with no return. (And as written above, this = worked ok until the demand of using the default gw come up...) (Ps. I know that the checkbox "Use def..." in Win98 adds a new line in = the routing table. But in my own "clone", I have no route table, I just = do=20 point to point communication through PPP, and don't know what's wrong. = Ds.) Do You have some small hint what could be the issue here? Best regards, Peter Tharning
