When I run netstat -r it correctly says I've a default route to the NT machine. I also setup in /etc/networks the nameserver to my gateway. But when I ping a machine (for example ftp.microsoft.com) it displays its IP address (the DNS part seems to work??), but nothing happens after that. No traffic seems to occur. Ping says X packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss. Anything else I have to do? Or if you want more information, please request it. It could be I have played a bit with this machine. P.S. Netscape on the FreeBSD machine runs fine when going through a 'proxy' (WinGate) on the NT machine. Thanks for any answers, Berend.
