Nothing else. Do I somehow have to : setup routing? I read that somewhere in the handbook. Well, if you're able to ping your host, it looks like missing the default route: route add default (your IP-Adress) and remember: if you're working with CSLIP, but your server with SLIP or the other way, ping will be the only command (say: ICMP Protokoll) which works. (for FreeBSD >= 2.0 you should add 'link2' for autodetection in your slip.hosts file) Jan -- Jan Wedekind jan@todonix.ping.de (home) Lindemannstr. 12 jan@fsinfo.informatik.uni-dortmund.de (FSR) 44137 Dortmund (Germany) wedeki00@marvin.informatik.uni-dortmund.de(UNI) Tel.: +49 (231) 134404 info@ping.de, vorstand@ping.de (PING)
