Its me again...

I am trying to setup a network at home/learning about all of this.

What I have:
I have a host at work with 2 ethernet cards and 4 modems.  One of the modems 
is setup for iijppp.  This host is running gated 3.5a10 and FreeBSD 2.0.5.

I have another host at home with 1 ethernet card and 1 modem for iijppp.  I 
have set the ppp for auto.  It is running FreeBSD 2.1.0 with 3.5a11 gated.  

What is happening:
At work I can see all hosts on any of the ethernet subnets.  I can see the 
other host through the ppp link, but I can't see the hosts on the ethernet 
at home.

At home I can see all hosts on the ethernet subnet.  I can see the work host 
through the ppp link, and all the rest of the world.

The problem:
The ethernet hosts at home can't see beyond the ppp link, they can't even 
see the work side of the ppp link!

comments:
all subnets are class C address spaces.  I added the tun0 interface in the 
gated.conf configuration, in a meager attempt to get it to route across the 
ppp link but it doesn't seem to do any good.  I am stuck!
