You'll need to modify your ipfw configuration to allow icmp >packets through (don't forget - both directions). I have: firewall = "open" in my rc.conf . Doesn't that prelude anything in the rc.firewall file? Also, my pppd sets the defaultroute to the system I am dialling into and then using the 'c' in the netstat table it reroutes the default gateway. In addition, I can't do nslookups, whois's etc... it says it can't find the nameservers I have listed in resolv.conf . Is my IP stack not setup correctly? Thanks again!
