BSD Guru's, please also post the answer to this problem, I too am facing
a similar problem  and getting real confused.

Here is my situation.  A windows 95 machine, connect via ethernet to
FBSD, FBSD is connected via pppd to my gateway (my address is
206.9.159.17, my gateways is 206.9.158.1)  I have two dialin lines,
running pppd that use me as a gateway currently 206.9.159.18 and
206.9.159.19 respectivly.  I also have a virtual host on my system
206.9.159.30  the range of ip's that I have are
206.9.159.16-206.9.159.31.

What I need to know, is how can I set up my routing tables, so that
everything works like it should?  what net and address should I put on
my ed0 card to get to win95?
