Dear FreeBSD people, I've been struggling with this for a while, and would appreciate some advice. We want to set up a FreeBSD host to route packets from our network of FreeBSD hosts and PCs to the internet via a dial-up line:- +----------+ dial-up +--------------+ Internal network | Internet |----~~~~----| gateway host |------+------+---... | | | (ijppp) | | | +----------+ +--------------+ Unix PC ... Our ISP uses negotiated IP. I've carefully followed the instructions in the FAQ and Man pages, but always get "No route to host" and "DNS lookup failure" messages from the other machines in the network, and the gateway doesn't dial. We have successfully established a manual connection with ppp on the gateway. We run "routed" on the unix hosts. Any suggestions would be very gratefully recieved. Best wishes, Robin. -------------------------------------------------------- Robin Melville, Addiction & Forensic Information Service Nottingham Alcohol & Drug Team (Extn. 49178) Vox: +44 (0)115 952 9478 Fax: +44 (0)115 952 9421 Email: robmel@nadt.org.uk WWW: http://www.innotts.co.uk/~nadt/ --------------------------------------------------------
