Hello,

  I have been struggeling with internetwork routing for some time now.
For some reason unknown to me I am not able to get from one network
through a host to an other network. See the following drawing for my
network:


      network 192.1.2               network 192.1.1
      ------------------------   -----------------------
      |(if0)            (le0)|   |(el0)            (ed0)|     <- Interfaces
 ___________        ______________________        __________
[192.1.2.100]      [192.1.2.11   192.1.1.11]     [192.1.1.13] <- addr
[    PC1    ]      [          UX2          ]     [   UX1    ] <- Hostname
[  (pctcp)  ]      [       (NetBSD)        ]     [ (NetBSD) ] <- O.S.
 -----------        -----------------------       ----------

  With this network I want to be able to ping from PC1 to UX1 
(thereby going through host UX2). As you can suspect this does
*NOT* work. But why?

I have the following configurations:

PC1:
PCTCP.INI file contains

[pctcp if 0]
; Overschie routing experiment
ip-address        = 192.1.2.100
router            = 192.1.2.11
broadcast-address = 192.1.2.255
subnet-mask       = 255.255.255.0

UX2:
A kernel compiled with option GATEWAY (Enables IP Packet forwarding)

Interfaces:
ifconfig el0 inet 192.1.1.11 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig le0 inet 192.1.2.11 netmask 255.255.255.0

Routing Table as Follows:

Internet:
Destination     Gateway         Flags   Refs    Use     Interface
127.0.0.1       127.0.0.1       UH      0       4       lo0
192.1.1         link#1          UC      0       0       el0
192.1.1.10      0:1:1b:a:7d:4c  UHL     0       970     el0
192.1.1.11      2:60:8c:c:d:84  UHL     2       156     lo0
192.1.1.13      0:c0:58:20:61:4 UHL     0       0       el0
192.1.1.255     link#1          UHL     1       472     el0
192.1.2         link#2          UC      0       0       le0
192.1.2.11      8:0:9:96:1b:6e  UHL     0       1       lo0
192.1.2.255     link#2          UHL     1       1013    le0

UX1:
A kernel compiled without option GATEWAY

Interface:
ifconfig ed0 inet 192.1.1.13 netmask 255.255.255.0

Routing Table as Follows:

Internet:
Destination     Gateway         Flags   Refs    Use     Interface
127.0.0.1       127.0.0.1       UH      1       2       lo0
192.1.1         link#1          UC      0       0       ed0
192.1.1.10      0:1:1b:a:7d:4c  UHL     1       795     ed0
192.1.1.11      2:60:8c:c:d:84  UHL     1       23      ed0
192.1.1.13      127.0.0.1       UGHS    1       25      lo0
192.1.2         192.1.1.11      UG      0       5       ed0


  What *DOES* work is:

1- I can ping from PC1 to UX2.
2- I can ping from the console of UX2 to PC1
3- I can ping from the console of UX2 to UX1
4- I can use telnet from the console of UX2 to UX1

 What does *NOT* work is:

1- I cannot ping from PC1 to UX1 (use routing thus)
2- I cannot use telnet from PC1 to UX2 (!)
