I have just been able to link my pc to my FreeBSD 2.0R box via ppp.
However I cannot seem to route off of the ppp-server machine.
I have done the following:

arp -s windows-hostname unix-machine-ethernet-address public,

And arp -a does show a "public"  "proxy only" listing for the windows
machine.  However I cannot ping two any machines other that the one
I am connected into.  

Any help or pointer on where to look is appreciated.
