I have followed the instructions in the FreeBSD handbook located at http://www.freebsd.org. I have set up a SLIP account on the server and I can dial into it OK using chameleon for windows software. The problem is that I can only access the server and I cant access any other machine outside of it, not even my router. ie. when I ping my SLIP host, it pings Ok ( I can also ping my SLIP client machine from my SLIP server ), but when I ping anything else I dont get any result back. I have tried to set up the SLIP server so that it uses proxy ARP as described in the FReeBSD handbook but I dont fully understand it. It appears that somehow I have to set up correct routing for my SLIP client machine, but I'm not sure how to do it. Could anyone please give me any hints on how to resolve this problem. Any help would be greatly apprecitated. Paul.
