Haven't done anything like that myself. However, I have used Win95 to dial Stanford, which assigns dynamic IP addresses...Win95 does this quite easily, and without any script or the scripting tool if you're willing to type in your username and password every time.

And it should work with the dynamically assigned IP address if it can work at all. You might want to look at the routing tables on the FreeBSD machine (netstat -rn) and at arp -a to make sure you got what you wanted. With user ppp I have always had to dial by hand and put in the default route by hand (after I found out what the dynamic IP address was). You might want to look at Win95's routing tables also. But it seems to me you're talking about dialing an ISP from one machine (running FreeBSD) and expecting another machine (running Win95) connected to it via ethernet to be able to use the connection to the ISP to browse, telnet, ping, etc. the outside world. I don't even know if this is possible. > > Any help at all would be appreciated, or at least a pointer to a FAQ... > > Anil > Annelise
