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
??
