I'm not on the mailing list but I have a question: I have set up my freebsd machine for ppp according the the Pedantic PPP Primer. The problem I have run into is this; when I set up the w95 client to got thru the FBSD server, there doesn't seem to be any traffic. I can't even see the server. I've checked the cards on both ends (FBSD has rl0 and w95 has a 3com509)and they are working. Each machine can ping its own internal address. They are directly connected with CAT 5 cable. Do I need to make a crossover cable before they can talk? I've checked all addresses on the machines and they are correct, subnets too. I can't even ping the IPs. I know there is something I'm overlooking but I can't seem to ID it. Should I do a route add on the FBSD server? Any ideas on where to go from here would be appreciated.
