The problem is that I can only >access the server and I cant access any other machine outside of it, That's because: A) You haven't set the slip server as a gateway. You need to type `sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1' to enable that functionality (as root) on the server. B) You haven't set the slip server to be the client's default gateway. Check your windows software - there should be a field for this. -- Jordan
