	I'm having a bit of a problem setting something up.  Any comments
or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

	I want to connect my Windows 95 machine to my FreeBSD system via SLIP 
or PPP so I can use both systems whenever necessary.  These computers are,
as of now, connected to each other by a null modem serial cable, and a dialup
on FreeBSD is active.

	When I connect (with, at first, difficulty) and login with either 
SLIP or PPP (with a script) all goes well and the connection is established
alright.  However, when I try to telnet out from the Windows 95 machine to
anywhere outside of the server (the BSD system) it just hangs there.  Once
or twice I have been able to get it to telnet, for reasons unknown, out of
this area - but then all hosts thought I was the BSD machine, and when I tried
to use the network from the BSD machine it didn't work!  I'm not sure where
to go with this.  My BSD computer is connected to the internet by means of SLIP
as well, if that helps at all.

	My ISP gave me another IP address to use, though I don't think they
configured anything further for it.  My server IP is 206.137.16.151, and the
Windows 95 client machine is supposed to be 206.137.16.152.  My ISP's router
is 206.137.16.1.  Does anyone have any clue what I should have done or
should do?  Do I need gateD?  

	Please email any responses if possible.

Thanks in advance,
David J. Wilson
