Hi, Chris! Check this: Open Control Panel | Network, select the TCP/IP protocol for your adapter card, click on Properties, go to the Gateway tab, and make sure you have your FreeBSD machine's network IP address listed in Installed Gateways. Otherwise, enter it in the New Gateway text box and click on Add. Hope this solves it! --Dan ** The thing I like most about Windows 98 is... ** You can download FreeBSD with it! >I am having problems with Windows '98 and FreeBSD running ppp -nat. > >Basically, The FreeBSD box with the connection is configured to use >ppp -nat, this works fine for the other FreeBSD boxes on the network, they >can reach the internet no problem.
