Hello Brian:

	In early November 97 you responded to several questions 
	I posted to questions@freebsd.org so I'm mailing you
	directly. I am in Asia now attempting to debug this and
	some other problems. Let me briefly refresh you memory.
				      ppp
	bsd2.2.1 system named tpe <----------> bsd2.2.5 system - mail <--> 

	LAN <--> ISP
	
	These two systems, tpe and mail, are connected via user level ppp
	over a dedicated 14.4 modem line. The mail machine is the principle
	mail server at the corporate headquarters, part of a local lan
	connected to the isp through fiber.

	User level ppp is functioning between mail and tpe but only the
	telnet function works. Ftp, and rlogin both fail:

daniel@mail(12)$ftp tpe
Connected to tpe.myson.com.tw.
220 tpe.myson.com.tw FTP server (Version 6.00) ready.
Name (tpe:daniel): 
331 Password required for daniel.
Password:
230 User daniel logged in.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> pwd
257 "/home/user/daniel" is current directory.
ftp> put foo
local: foo remote: foo
200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't build data connection: Connection refused.
ftp> 


daniel@mail(13)$rlogin tpe
rlogind: Permission denied.
daniel@mail(14)$


	Neither the mail or the tpe machine are running any type of
	firewall; before the tpe machine was at the end of the ppp
	link it was part of the local lan here and all networking
	commands functioned normally. PPP was the single configuration
	addition.

	I've checked inetd.conf, services, and sysconfig on both
	machines and cannot find anything amiss, so at this point
	I'm a bit stumped. Nslookup works fine from the ppp client
	machine tpe: (resolv.conf points to mail)

daniel@tpe$ nslookup www.freebsd.org
Server:  mail.myson.com.tw
Address:  172.16.2.1

Name:    hub.freebsd.org
Address:  204.216.27.18
Aliases:  www.freebsd.org

daniel@tpe$ 

	So does ping:

daniel@tpe$ ping www.freebsd.org
PING hub.freebsd.org (204.216.27.18): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 204.216.27.18: icmp_seq=0 ttl=240 time=569.078 ms
64 bytes from 204.216.27.18: icmp_seq=1 ttl=240 time=650.184 ms

	but any network connection (ftp, telnet, rlogin) beyond
	the mail machine fails (ftp and rlogin etc. do not work
	even to mail as already mentioned).

	I have tcpdump working on the mail
	platform and have looked at the traffic between mail and tpe
	during a ftp session and included it below.

	First is netstat -rn for both tpe and mail

	Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

	Thanks in advance.
