Thanks in advance for any > help. I guess I should have explained the situation better. I want to set up my BSD box to be the gateway to the internet for the other machine on my network. If I set up IP forwarding and the BSD as the gateway for the SGI, ping packets go OUT, but none come back. I'm assuming it's because the remote ppp router doesn't know how to route the packets to an IP on an unknown subnet. I have only dynamic IP - no class C, so I want the BSD machine to handle all the routing. Thanks. Brad Waite
