Date: Mon, 1 Aug 1994 05:57:30 GMT Lines: 36 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. -- brantk@atlas.com | "Electricity is made up of very small particles called Atlas Telecom | electrons, which you cannot see unless you have been Portland, OR | drinking." --- This message printed with 100% recycled electrons ---
