Doh ! Can't believe I am so dense (maybe I can)! I tried first using a network 10.0.0.x but windows refused to use it so, I changed it to 192.168.0.x ...... only I didn't change the gateway address .... windows still thought it was 10.0.0.1 !!! OK - everything is working now ...... Sorry for being such a dufus and, cheers to everyone for all the help ! Thats why FreeBSD is so great .... you get a better class of people here :o)) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan O'Connor" <dan@jgl.reno.nv.us> To: <c.raven@ukonline.co.uk>; <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Sunday, December 19, 1999 7:13 PM Subject: Re: ppp -nat -auto <my ISP> > Hi, Chris! > > Check this: > > Open Control Panel | Network, select the TCP/IP protocol for your adapter > card, click on Properties, go to the Gateway tab, and make sure you have > your FreeBSD machine's network IP address listed in Installed Gateways. > > Otherwise, enter it in the New Gateway text box and click on Add. > > Hope this solves it! > > --Dan > > ** The thing I like most about Windows 98 is... > ** You can download FreeBSD with it! > > > >I am having problems with Windows '98 and FreeBSD running ppp -nat. > > > >Basically, The FreeBSD box with the connection is configured to use > >ppp -nat, this works fine for the other FreeBSD boxes on the network, they > >can reach the internet no problem.
