Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I want to connect my Windows 95 machine to my FreeBSD system via SLIP or PPP so I can use both systems whenever necessary. These computers are, as of now, connected to each other by a null modem serial cable, and a dialup on FreeBSD is active. When I connect (with, at first, difficulty) and login with either SLIP or PPP (with a script) all goes well and the connection is established alright. However, when I try to telnet out from the Windows 95 machine to anywhere outside of the server (the BSD system) it just hangs there. Once or twice I have been able to get it to telnet, for reasons unknown, out of this area - but then all hosts thought I was the BSD machine, and when I tried to use the network from the BSD machine it didn't work! I'm not sure where to go with this. My BSD computer is connected to the internet by means of SLIP as well, if that helps at all. My ISP gave me another IP address to use, though I don't think they configured anything further for it. My server IP is 206.137.16.151, and the Windows 95 client machine is supposed to be 206.137.16.152. My ISP's router is 206.137.16.1. Does anyone have any clue what I should have done or should do? Do I need gateD? Please email any responses if possible. Thanks in advance, David J. Wilson
