I've set up a telnet program on the XT, and can successfully connect to the FreeBSD box. Each of these machines has been allocated an IP address according to one of the RFCs. The FreeBSD box is 10.0.0.1 and the XT is 10.0.0.2 So far no worries. I use kermit to dial up my ISP who provides me with an IP address (dynamically allocated). Using kernel ppp and the pppd program I can connect to the Internet through my ISP (which happens to be a University). /etc/sysconfig specifies that the machine I'm using will act as a gateway. I'm also running a DNS on this machine. I would like to allow the XT to telnet directly to my ISP using the FreeBSD box as a gateway. Currently this is not working. Can someone fill me in as to what I need to do ? -- David Henshaw dhenshaw@silas.cc.monash.edu.au
