Hi people,

I have been having all sorts of problems with my slIP logins here on my
box and I hope someone out there can help.  I have read the FAQ but it
has not helped in this case. Here is the problem.

1. I can get any machine to slIP into this address 202.14.100.1 and then
   do what they wish on this box. But they can not get to any other 
   machine in this domain from their remote machines.
2. They can not ping, telnet, ftp, rwhod, nslookup server 202.14.100.100
   (or any other dns server) to anything but the box they have slIP'ed 
   to.

Here is my /etc/slip.hosts file

#
# login local-addr remote-addr mask  opt1 opt2 
#      (normal,compress,noicmp) 
#
#Skcbbs pablo           kcbbs  0xffffff00 normal
#Sstatus 202.14.100.1 202.20.65.1 0xffffff00 normal
Samiga 202.14.100.1 202.14.100.250 0xffffff00 normal 
Smentor 202.14.100.1 202.14.100.210 0xffffff00 normal
Seconz 202.14.100.1 202.14.100.75 0xffffff00 normal
Sbox 202.14.100.1 202.14.100.69 0xffffff00 normal



Here is my /etc/slip.login file where I suspect the problem LIES ..

#!/bin/sh -
#
#       @(#)slip.login  5.1 (Berkeley) 7/1/90
#
# generic login file for a slip line.  sliplogin invokes this with
# the parameters:
#      1        2         3        4          5         6     7-n
#   slipunit ttyspeed loginname local-addr remote-addr mask opt-args
#
/sbin/ifconfig sl$1 inet $4 $5 netmask $6 
/sbin/route add default $5

Can someone please email me how I can get this to allow access to outside
sites (outside in this case "202.14.100.1") from the host machine.

Thanks in advance
