This was originally posted in comp.os.386.questions. It dod not seem do
make the transition gracefully. I appoligize...
I have two systems using BSD and am having trouble routing to the
Internet. Everything SEEMS to be correct but it doesn't work.
Pentium is connected to the Internet via ppp, which works great. I486 is
connected to pentium via ethernet (3Com), works great too. I486 doesn't
seem to want to work with the Internet. DNS to worldly sites works from
i486 just fine. Telnet or FTP from i486 connects, but the connection times
out. I can rlogin from i486 to pentium then out to the Internet just fine.
All the parts seem to work fine, but I can't seem to figure this out.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. If you need more information
to provide adequate reply, please ask.
Thank you in advance!

Just wanted to add that FreeBSD is about the best thing I could ever have
stumbled across. FreeBSD 2.0 was released as I got the UNIX bug and I
have been astounded by its quality ever since. The school I attend (CAD
Institute in PHX, AZ) is teaching UNIX and have turned some of the
students on to FreeBSD. Keep up the great work and thank you for
everything! (I don't think I would have done nearly as well learning UNIX
with Linux (personal obs, not trying to start something <grin>)
