I have successfully gotten my win95 machine to connect/logon using user 
ppp.  But after that I am unable to get anything else to work. not 
telnet, not ftp, not anything.  some details.  

while running this test, I AM NOT connected to my ISP, (Not enough phone 
lines installed yet) 

On another test, when I am connected to my ISP, I can telnet out to a 
remote site, and then turn around and telnet back in to my site.  so 
telnet/ftp are accepting incoming requests, just not over the ppp line.  

I am running named on my machine, (but I'm not 100% convinced that it is 
set up correctly.)

HELP!
