Greetings all, I'm a FreeBSD newbie, and I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can give me with a problem I'm having. I've created a dial-up WAN connection between our satellite office and our home office with two FreeBSD machines: 1 acting as a PPP client at the satellite office, and another acting as a PPP server in our home office. Because we have two different subnets, and access to the Internet here, we set the PPP client up via a "PPP -auto -alias demand" type connection so the satellite office could have Internet access, and it works great at the satellite office. Each computer using the PPP client as a gateway can see the rest of our network, and consequently the Internet. No problems at all there. However, I'd hoped to be able to use the same connection to give our home office access to our satellite office by using the PPP server here as a gateway. No luck there. From even the PPP server (and any machine using the PPP server as a gateway), I can see the PPP client machine, but none of the other machines on the network. Traceroutes show everything as timeouts past the PPP client. I've tried running routed on the PPP client/gateway machine, but no luck. I imagine that everything is getting loused up by the fact that I'm using the -alias option, but I'm not sure. I've got GATEWAY_ENABLED="YES" in the rc.conf, and tried using "enable proxy" in the ppp.conf, but doesn't seem to help. If anyone has any ideas about what I'm missing, I'd appreciate any assistance at all. Thanks in advance, Jason jbruner@esn.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
