Date: 5 Aug 1994 10:48:16 GMT Organization: Simplex networking Amsterdam Lines: 25 Message-ID: <31t5e3$8hv@News.Simplex.NL> NNTP-Posting-Host: simplex.nl X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi, I'm having the following problem: I can dial up and establish a SLIP connection with a FreeBSD 1.5.1.1 machine, then I am able to telnet,ping,ftp, etc etc., but *only* to the machine where I'm connected to. When I try to do anything beyond this machine, I get a 'host or gateway not responding' error. Is there a default option which disallows SLIP users to reach sites beyond the SLIP server ? The routing tables look ok, there's a route added from my host to the SLIP client (sl0). Which as far as I know should be enough. I'm talking about the routing tables on the SLIP server. The SLIP client routes everything to the SLIP server. Am I missing something ? - Rob. -- ############### Couldn't think of anything yet .. ###############
