Say the problematic network is network y.y.y.0 and the network that works is x.x.x.0 and the second box has IP addresses x.x.x.a and y.y.y.b. On the second unix box Try a 'ping -S x.x.x.a ip_of_ppp_box' it should work for obvious reasons. Next try 'ping -S y.y.y.b ip_of_ppp_box'. If that does not work, then the box running ppp does not have a route to network y.y.y.0. Add it by route add -net y.y.y.0 x.x.x.a If the networks are subnets of the same class C I would ensure the the netmasks are set correctly. - Barrett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
