Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Well, I'm not sure what I did, or maybe it was a fluke that it was even working in the first place, but i'm having routing problems. Heres the scenerio : Machine A and B are both a part of the network 205.134.198 Machine A is running FreeBSD 2.0.5, and Machine B is running Windows 95. Machine A talks to machine B, machine B responds. All is happy and good. Now, machine A uses its modem to dial my PPP provider and establish a connection. This connection creates the address of 204.71.144.66 ( local ) and 204.71.144.?? ( remote ). So now machine A ( 205.134.198.1 ) can talk to machine B ( 205.134.198.2 ) and machine A can also talk to the rest of the Net. I have the address 204.71.144.66 as my default router, and I have #define GATEWAY compiled into the kernel etc ... as I said, it was working. Now, I can't for the life of me get machine B to see the Net or vice verca. In fact, the Outside world won't see machine A as 205.134.198.1, only 204.71.144.66. The only other option is that my providers portmaster dropped my network from its routing tables ( this has happened before ), but I mailed the network guy at my provider and asked him to check. *shrug* I suppose that he may not have yet ... but if anyone has a similar setup, can you please send me a copy of your 'netstat -rn' output? Thanks for any help on this!!! -Steve steve@microdot.com
