Hello, This is a very weird problem i've encountered and was wondering how I can figure out where the problem lies. I've been using FreeBSD 1.1.5 as a dialin system with only one modem connected. I've been using windows 3.1 with trumpet to dial into the system and this has worked with no problem. I decided to upgrade the FreeBSD system to 2.1 and now trumpet 2.0 will not work, and gives very strange results. If I ping from the win3.1 system to any system on the Internet, using the IP address of the host it works as expected. When I try to use the name it fails. What is even stranger is when I try to ping the system win3.1 system it always fails. I than had one of my friends, who is using win95 dial into the system and everything works fine. This really confused me. I than had one of my other friends try his winnt system and that works fine too. I than got a copy of Netmanage Chameleon and tried it. Guess what, it worked fine with no problem. I than decided to download trumpet 2.1 and give it a try. To my amazement it worked with no problems. This really confused me. I have no idea why certain things work while others dont. Is anyone aware of this problem i'm having? I dont mind upgrading to either win95, winnt, or trumpet 2.1, I'm just really bothered that something is not right. I will continue to investigate why this is happening, but would like to hear from you all on what I can do to figure out what the problem is. One thing I did notice while using FreeBSD 1.1.5 and trumpet is that I had to set my MTU in trumpet to something less than 1024 otherwise certain applications would not work. I have tried all different sorts of MTU sizes within trumpet to get it to work with FreeBSD 2.1 pppd but nothing works. Any help you all can give is very appreciated. Thanks for your help. John P.S. If i've posted to the wrong group I'm sorry.
