I am attempting to learn FreeBSD as I may be able to use it for some of my clients. I am currently experimenting with the box as a gateway using a dialup PPP connection. I have the box setup to dial upon boot up and keep the connection. Gateway is enabled in rc.conf. Routing is disabled. Firewall is disabled. The box dials and connects to the internet and locally on the box all services work fine (Telnet/Ftp/etc.) I am also using the nat option for ppp. On the client machine (win98se) I am able to ping both the IP address of the NIC on the freebsd box and the address that the ppp connection assigns to tun0. I am also able to ping the remote gateway's IP address of my ISP. Any other address that I attempt to ping responds with a TTL expired before reaching destination error. Any thoughts?
