Everything appears to work correctly from the gateway box. I'd appreciate any comments on the results of a netstat -nr default 203.3.126.1 UGSc tun0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH lo0 203.3.126.1 203.3.126.129 UH tun0 203.3.126.128 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff UHLWb fxp0 203.3.126.128/29 link#1 UC fxp0 203.3.126.129 0:a0:c9:21:12:48 UHLW lo0 203.3.126.133 0:0:c0:38:b9:27 UHLW fxp0 203.3.126.1 is first DNS & gateway address at ISP end of dialup link 203.3.126.128 is local network address (uses 255.255.255.248 netmask) 203.3.126.129 is address of FreeBSD (local gateway) box ethernet & ppp interfaces 203.3.126.133 is address of a Win98 box I want to run ICQ on When I try running ICQ, it looks like its trying to connect but eventually gives up and tells me "can't establish connection". The reason I think I've got a routing problem is I can't ping or tracert from the Win98 box although browsers & email clients work OK I figure there can't be a route from 203.3.126.133 to the ISP, so probably I need to run something on the BSD machine like "route add 203.3.126.129 203.3.126.133" and relevant lines for each other LAN machine .... does this reasoning sound OK ??
