I'm having a problem getting my FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE machine to connect via
TCP/IP to a
Windows 95 machine. I followed the tutorial, then went through it again to
try and find the problem. I can't make any type of connection (ping, even)
between the computers. Since going through the tutorial, I've played around
with it to try and get it going...
There are only three computers on the local
network (but one is NetWare so it doesn't count :)). The FreeBSD machine
is properly configured for a PPP Internet connection. It is named
patrick.interlog.com, and uses the static IP address assigned to me by my ISP.
The Windows 95 machine is named patti.interlog.com with IP 192.168.1.1.
I manually added a route to patti (Win95) on patrick (FBSD) using patrick
as the gateway. The gateway option is enabled on patrick.
The rest of this message is more detail in case it might help. Sorry about
the length. I greatly appreciate any advice you can offer.

This console message comes up when I do the command ...
'route add -llinfo -local patti patrick':
"/kernel: arp_rtrequest: bad gateway value"
... but it makes the route (below) anyway.
If I do 'ping patti', the ping header comes up (PING patti.interlog.com,
IP addr, etc), and then I get the following console message:
"/kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 192.168.1.1"
... that's why I put '-llinfo' in the route com line - just guessing.
While connected to my ISP, I get this message:
"/kernel: arplookup: 192.168.1.1 failed: gateway route is not ours"
... I think that's because someone is using 192.168.1.1 on the Internet?
And following is the output of a few related commands to show the config
details:

(Why wouldn't patti have the LOCAL flag?)
