Here is my situation:
I am running FreeBSD 1.0.2(I think) at home. I dial up the slip
server at work with kermit. Once I am connected, I suspend the kermit
sesion and run the following commands:
slatach sl0 /dev/tty01
ifconfig inet sl0 clientname servername netmask 0xffffff00
;Where clientname and servername
;are the values given to me when I
;started the slip connection 134.141.3.*
route add default servername
Now I can ping any machine in the company using it's machine name,
which means that ping works, and I am successfully querying the
nameserver. I found that I can also mount nfs filesystems with no
trouble. I cannont however, telnet, ftp, or access my nntp server
using a news reader. When I telnet or ftp, It connects to the remote
machine, but then it just hangs indefinitely. I'm not sure where to
go from here. Some stuff works and some doesn't. Can anybody give
suggestions?
Also, does anybody know how to disable call waiting when using a
dial-back system?
Thank in advance,
