Subject: Problems with FreeBSD SLIP (can telnet/cannot ping)

I'm working on adding my small network to the Internet. Connection is
made via a 14.4Kbps dialup SLIP connection. I can telnet out, ftp,
you name it. I just can't ping hosts outside of my own local network.
Strange, considering I can reach them via telnet.
Here's a few facts to consider:
* The IP address of my local net is 199.26.157.x, which is an "official"
class C assigned by the InterNIC.
* My domain is vertigo.com, this is NOT official, and is not used outside
my local network (not until it's official, anyways).
* I am connecting to my provider's NetBlazer, which uses Dynamic IP. (I
get a different IP address every time I dial up).
* My gateway machine is an Intel-based machine running FreeBSD 1.1.0(Beta).
All of my tests were run from the gateway (everest).
* Configuration and routing are done as follows:
slattach -s 38400 /dev/ttyd0
ifconfig sl0 ${IP_ADDRESS} up
route flush
route add default ${IP_ADDRESS}
Any ideas on where I should continue looking? I can't find anything
abnormal in any of my configuration files.
