Wes,
I've run the pppd with Win95 for about 6 months now, and have had no
problems at all. There is even a nice web page at
"http://www.ssimicro.com/~jeremyc/ppp.html" that walks through it.
(Jeremy, thanks for putting this page together.)

Subject: user PPP server problem
Date: Wednesday, July 24, 1996 5:04PM
I'm trying to get my office PC, running freeBSD V2.1, to act a ppp server
so that I can dial into from a Win95 PC and have access to the Internet.
I followed the setup process as described in the handbook and that got me
to the point where using dial-up networking on the Win95 I can ping and
telnet to the freeBSD machine. Also the freeBSD machine is able to ping
the Win95 PC and access the Internet when I'm dialed in. The problem is
that the Win95 PC can not access any host beyond the freeBSD machine. It
can't ping the default route for the freeBSD PC or access any sites on the
internet. To me it seems that the freeBSD machine is just not set up
to route incoming traffic on to it's default route properly.I've read
through the questions database on the freeBSD web site and while it seems
their have been many others with this problem I couldn't find the fix for
my setup. Here is a bit of detail on my setup
freeBSD PC
Ethernet hookup to Internet (3c509)
IP address = 204.233.15.150
hostname = g26.mtmc.edu
default route = 204.233.15.1
name server = 204.233.15.1
running user ppp with [-dedicated] switch
modem on com2
sysconfig setting gateway=yes
Win95 PC
Using Dial-Up networking with TCP/IP as the selected protocol
IP address = 204.233.15.152
default route = 204.233.15.150
name server = 204.233.15.1
Once again, I can get the Win95 machine to hook up with ppp just fine. I
can then telnet to the freeBSD server. I can not ping any other machines
on our network or access the Internet.
Any help is greatly apreciated.
