He dials in fine, and the route is propogated via RIP. Now, he can ping the rest of the world, but cannot ping the FreeBSD machine on our local network (a bit of a problem because it is his primary DNS!). netstat -nr give something like this... Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 194.72.241.3 UGSc 45 4318 ep0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 982 lo0 194.72.241 link#2 UC 1 0 194.72.241.1 0:20:af:be:c0:9d UHLW 4 93242 lo0 194.72.241.3 0:40:ff:8:2:7e UHLW 50 1219 ep0 1192 194.72.241.33 194.72.241.3 UGH 0 0 ep0 194.72.241.231 link#2 UHLW 0 3 224 link#2 UCS 0 0 where his ip is 194.72.241.231, and 194.72.241.33 is a dynamic address that works. What is very odd is that I can masqerade as him, and dialin with another FreeBSD machine. It is fine for me! When I dialin, netstat -nr looks like: Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 194.72.241.3 UGSc 62 4342 ep0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 997 lo0 194.72.241 link#2 UC 1 0 194.72.241.1 0:20:af:be:c0:9d UHLW 7 94455 lo0 194.72.241.3 0:40:ff:8:2:7e UHLW 66 1219 ep0 880 194.72.241.33 194.72.241.3 UGH 0 0 ep0 194.72.241.231 194.72.241.3 UGH 1 34 ep0 224 link#2 UCS 0 0 Note that now the ip address 194.72.241.231 does not have the gateway as link#2, but as the default gateway. (I don't know what link#2 means, and could not seem to find it from the netstat man page). Since it works fine for me, and badly for him, it seems that it must be something to do with differences in our implementations or configuration of ppp, but I have no idea what. Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions? Thanks... - Charlie Conklin cc@dolphinet.co.uk
