i am trying to setup a 2 box network in my home with the object of using
the freebsd box as a gateway for a dialup internet connection. i have
followed the instructions in the ppp tutorial. the second box is
running  windoze nt 4.0 and each box has an smc 8416 ethernet card on
isa bus. 
each box seems to be setup properly, but they do not acknowledge each
others existence. ping to localhost and hostname work on each end, but
ping from freebsd box to windoze box results: host is down. ping from
windoze box to freebsd box results: timed out. i have even checked the
cable for breaks...none.

any suggestions as to what i am doing wrong will be greatly appreciated.
