Hello,

I am having a problem in where I have a PPP server running on a FreeBSD
2.1.7 box that is used for UUCP mail and occassional dialin to access the
local LAN via PPPD. Everything works ok, but I am having a problem
using WINS at this site.

The site has a Windows NT server that is running a wins server. I
statically put the address of this wins server in my configuration of
Windows 95. I then dial the FreeBSD box, get connected, can ping anywhere
& do anything, but wins is not functioning properly. Looking at the wins
database, I see that I got myself registered, but I cannot resolve
anything.

I have not experienced this using other PPP servers (i.e. livingston,
3COM, etc) and the configuration is the same.

Has anybody else had this problem?

Tim
