Hi, I'm attempting to build my own LAN (and this is the first time I've ever done something like this) that is connected to the internet. I'm using a 2.2.7 box as gateway, which was configured per the Pedantic PPP Primer. The other is a 2.2.2 box. This is my problem: I am unable to ping either machine from the other. On the 2.2.7 box this is the message received when attempting to ping, ping: sendto: Host is down on the 2.2.2 box I get: ping: sendto: Host is down ping: wrote fargo.my.domain 64 chars, ret=-1 here's my netstat -rn info ffrom the 2.2.7 box and ifconfig -a Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 209.20.129.34 UGSc 5 0 tun0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 2 lo0 192.168.1 link#1 UC 0 0 209.20.129.34 209.20.138.46 UH 6 0 tun0 fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:a0:c9:90:78:09 media: autoselect supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 209.20.138.46 --> 209.20.129.34 netmask 0xffffffff sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 Here is the output of netstat -rn and ifconfig -a from the 2.2.2 box: Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 192.168.1.2 UGSc 0 0 ed0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 192.168.1 link#1 UC 0 0 192.168.1.2 link#1 UHLW 1 17 192.168.1.3 0:0:cd:28:4e UHLW 0 16 lo0 ed0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:00:c0:cd:28:4e lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 tun0: flags=8051<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 I feel like I've missed some detail(s), but don't know what it is. Having tried a couple of different cards in each machine and getting the same results, I'm inclined to believe I've overlooked something, rather than having bad cards (although all the network cards are used). The cable is known to be good. Thanks E=m*(c*c) Ken Keeler "Look, it's all a bunch of ones and zeros."
