The 'subnet' hosts don't know to send traffic to your slip server in order to get to your client machines. You have routing problems. :( Rather than bore the folks on Usenet (with the incredibly long delay between posts), I recommend send me private email with a *long* description of your setup and/or you getting the O'Reilly TCP/IP book. Either solution should get everything working.
