Good day all!

I have the strangest problem - you won't believe this!

I have a FreeBSD gateway/router and a branch office, configured like so:

                        --------------
PPP 192.168.255.6/30    |  FreeBSD   |   LAN 192.168.3.1/24
       <<---------(hdlc0)  Gateway   (dc0)-------O
 (<<--default gateway)  |            |
                        --------------

Now, the problem:  I cannot ping/traceroute/connect from elsewhere to
any addresses on the 192.168.3.0/24 network, except 192.168.3.1 itself.
When I use traceroute from outside it is successful until 192.168.255.6,
then dies on the next hop.

If I log on to that gateway server itself, I can get anywhere out via
the PPP link, and I can ping 192.168.3.1, but nothing else on
192.168.3.0/24 responds.

Now, before you say "Plug the cable in!" :) - Users on the 192.168.3.0
LAN are able to fetch their emails (from the head office mail server),
browse the web, etc.  All of this traffic is traversing the gateway
quite merrily!  ??????????????

The box has ipfw compiled into the kernel, but at present the
"rc.firewall" is running in "OPEN" mode.  There is no NAT happening on
this box either.

I must be missing something really obvious!

Please hit me with the clue club.

Regards,
Patrick O'Reilly.
