Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have two machines two ip addresses . I can ping both locally back and forth etc. However if I dial out using ppp on a modem I cannot seem to ping systems outside my local network. When I connect using ppp on my modem it says from 206.25.228.40 to 206.25.228.### 206.25.228.### is also the ed0 inet number on my network card. I think the problem is with this. Can someone tell me should I be using the same ip number that I get when I connect to my provider via modem for that of my network card? Should I change the ip number for my network card to 10.0.0.1 or smthing? I want to beable to connect to the internet on my first machine via modem/ppp telnet to my second machine and be able to get out on the net from the second machine. I do have the first machine as the router for the second machine. The first machine has the modem . The router on my first machine is set to the router of my isp. I would also like to have my first machine recognized by it's ip number given to me by my provider, not by a 10.0.0.1 number. Thank You in advance . I have all the books. Maybe I just don't know find the info I need. Stephen A. Derdau XTDL inc 603 4714700 "It's just a matter of perspective"
