Thanks to all the guys who provided advice re getting my PPP stuff sorted out ..... the BSD gateway machine has been online continuously for over 48 hours now with no sign of dropping the link I've found another problem I can't solve but its probably quite trivial to someone who knows a bit about this stuff I can run browsers and email clients OK on Win98 LAN machines but can't ping or tracert from them. 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 ??
