[routing problem deleted]

: 1.  Switched from static table routing to RIP w/ routed

Switch back. routed is notoriously buggy.
Use gated if you really must have dynamic routing.

: 2.  Set the gateway in winsock to the bsd box, our router,
:     our provider's gateway - no luck.

Set it to the BSD box..

Then make sure the kernel on the BSDBox is compiled with
'options GATEWAY' or it won't forward packets round for you.

Cheers,

Phil.
