When A connects to B, I want A to make B its default router. It seems that ppp is able to successfully negotiate IP Addresses and update the routing tables accordingly. However, when I try to ping machine B (10.0.0.135) from A, an ICMP request is sent, but no reply. Basically, on machine A, I used the following command to connect: ppp -background pppin and on B sitting on a port... ppp -direct pppin Can you tell me why ppp seems to establish the link correctly, but then everything falls to pieces. Oh yeah, I'm using FreeBSD 2.2.5! Machine A's setup (similar to B, without changing of default route) %more ppp.linkup pppin: delete 0 add 0 0 HISADDR %inconfig -a tun0: flags=8051 mtu 1500 inet 10.0.0.136 --> 10.0.0.135 netmask 0xffffff00 %netstat -r Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 10.0.0.135 UGSc 1 0 tun0 10.0.0.135 10.0.0.136 UH 2 27 tun0 Thanks in advance, Michael!
