I'm trying to connect to my FreeBSD machine (2.1.5) using kernel ppp from Windows 95 (dial-up networking). The connection is made (I can ping and telnet by name or number from Win95) but Netscape doesn't work--it has trouble finding things (especially on my own server) and apparently trouble getting things back to the Win95 machine. Also while I can pop mail up I can't get Eudora or MS Exchange to send mail. Neither of these problems occurs if I connect to Stanford's ppp service with Win95 (dynamically assigned IP addresses) or if I connect to my FreeBSD machine (office) using FreeBSD (home) instead of Win95. I have three IP addresses to use: one for office FreeBSD (its ethernet card) (x.x.x.163); one for the home machine running Win95 (or FreeBSD) (x.x.x.75); and a third to assign to the ppp interface if I want to do it that way. I tried setting up the pppd options file with local:remote addresses as x.x.x.163:x.x.x.75 and proxyarp, also using arp -s x.x.x.75 ethernet_hardware_address pub but this doesn't work. I also tried attaching x.x.x.157 to the ppp0 interface (in sysconfig) and setting the local:remote in the pppd options file to x.x.x.157:x.x.x.75, leaving in proxyarp. This doesn't work either. There seems to be something wrong with the routing here and I don't know what it is. I have only two static routes in sysconfig (multicast and loopback) and am not sure how to create another static route, that is, what to call it and what the routing should be; but it seems pppd creates a route from the local:remote entry. I can use user ppp on the FreeBSD machine if that works better. I have tried just about everything imaginable in Win95, in Control Panel > Network and in Dial-Up-Networking. Any suggestions about what might be wrong? Annelise
