Since both ends share ip's from the same C-subnet, it's a triffle more complicated than I though, if anyone has a similar setup, could he or she mail me how he or she did it ? Second question is, I enabled 'options GATEWAY' in the kernel, recompiled, installed etc. But the machine refuses to be a gateway, all routes are (as far as I can see) as they should be, I manually typed them in, and on a FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 machine it worked with this exact setup. (although on SLIP) Is it enought to just insert 'options GATEWAY' in the kernel config file, or are there more things mandatory ? - Rob. -- /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ /* Rob Simons | rob@simplex.nl *\ /* ------------ | ------------- | -------- | ------- *\ /* Novell Netware System Operator | UNIX system operator *\ /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\
