Hello Everybody,

I have just scanned through all the Mailing list archives there are, and
can't figure out my problem.. Hopefully someone will be able to help me.

I have a ISDN Internet connection through as cisco 1004 router, and a
couple of FreeBSD boxes on that network. I want to configure one of the
boxes to allow for PPP dialin for local host access, and internet access.
I am currently using kernel PPP. I managed to get it up and running OK as
I can dial and connect to it. I can ping the Ethernet side of the box I
have dialed into, but not to my local network, or across my router.

One alarming thing I read on the archives suggests that your clients must
use IP's out of the scope of the ethernet boards netmask. I certainly hope
not, as I already have a (small) subclass'd class C. I do not believe I
can break it down any further.

I am using FreeBSD 2.1.5, simple /etc/ppp/options, and a few sample
scripts I found to initialize the com port using Kermit then run the pppd
daemon.

As I see that there are many questions regarding this, If I can figure it
out I will summarize and post it.

Tim
