Anyhoo, could some kind soul please tell me if there are any problems currently with routing through a PPP connection using FreeBSD 2.0 SNAP? The details are as follows: A. 1.1.5.1 486 DX2/66 on ethernet network in my office running pppd, routed -g -s, and options GATEWAY in the kernel. B. 2.0 SNAP 486 DX/50 connected to above machine via ppp like. running pppd, routed -g -s, and options GATEWAY in the kernel. It looks kinda like this: [A]<-----PPP------>[B] | 14.4 kbps | / \ [C] [D] thin subnet thinet subnet xxx.xxx.31.0 xxx.xxx.37.0 | [T1] 1. Machines B and D can communicate great on the 37 subnet. 2. Machines A and C can communicate wonderfully on the 31 subnet. 3 However, machine D can't talk to machine C very well at all. [But...] If I kill routed on machine C, flush the routing tables and then restart routed, the .37 subnet shows up on the routing tables (netstat -r), and machine D can talk to machine C, however, after about 3 minutes or so the route is deleted and machine D can no longer talk to machine C. During all this, however, machines D can always communicate with machine A. Ok, now that I've confused everyone in the universe, can someone figure out why this doesn't seem to work? Thanks for just reading to this point, you're a saint if you do.
