More info, please. When you connect what to what? Is your FBSD box also a 
gateway, maybe? If so, did you include its IP address in twinsock? Do you 
have a nameserver listed? And do you have a HOSTS file in your twinsock 
directory?

Or are you dialling through twinsock to FBSD? If so, you still need to 
identify your nameserver and other stuff.

With more info, maybe we can solve this.
