Hey,

I'm currently trying to configure a 2.2.2 as a gateway box for win95
pc's.

 A bit of background: The FreeBSD box has 2 network interfaces 
ed0 (inet 203.17.42.140, netmask 255.255.255.0) & ed1 (inet 
192.168.141.130, netmask 255.255.255.0). I can verify that these are 
working correctly.

The ed0 interface is on a real world subnet (connects via router/ISDN 
to our ISP), and our ed1 is an inhouse subnet.

The current config does not allow win95 pc's access to the internet, 
although the FreeBSD box does, and I have the GATEWAY="YES" option in 
rc.conf. 

I also am using routed, although Im not sure of the difference b/w 
that and gated, and when either should be used. I have successfully 
configured a FreeBSD 2.2.1 box as a internet gateway using ppp/ed0 
and have had no difficulties. Can somebody point me to where I am going 
wrong? 


Thanks,
