 Hi there, I have a lan behind a FreeBSD box using IP's from the reserved
IP pool (192.168.1.x) and I'm dialing in with the FreeBSD box using
UserPPP.


 Details follow:
-----------------

O/S:		FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE

Command-line:	ppp -alias

hosts file:	127.0.0.1	localhost
		192.168.1.1	spiral.test.net   spiral  # FreeBSD box
		192.168.1.2	test1.test.net    test1   # Win95 box
		196.7.74.84     spyral.iafrica.com spyral # IP assigned to
							  #   me by my ISP

ppp.linkup:     196.7.74.84:
			delete ALL
			add 0 0 HISADDR


 Here's what I can do:  I can telnet to the FreeBSD box from the Win95
machine, I then run 'ppp -alias' and dial into my ISP. After that, I can
ping out from my machine, telnet to others, etc... and even browse from
there using Lynx. Problem comes in when I try to ping from the Win95 box.
Nothing happens. I have a feeling there's something wrong with my routing
tables, but have no idea where to start. If anyone has had this working,
please respond. I really am desperate.

Thanks in advance,
Brad
