Hi all,

I've been using FreeBSD (the June snapshot) as a slip server to the
Internet. It looks as if the client machine(s) are unable to ping or
telnet hosts on the same subnet as the server but more distant hosts can
be reached without trouble. 

Within a telnet session on the server ping and telnet work anywhere on the
Internet.

Any idea what's wrong?

thanks for reading

bob
