We have 2 NT boxes, one 3.51 & one 4.0 plus one 95 box and a freebsd box. All of these are conected to a lan and we are using the public IP set 192.168.0.1 for this. This will of course change soon as we have just recieved our IP numbers. We have set up the bsd box to dial out ppp style to our ISP. Now for some reason we cannot telnet or ftp to our bsd box when we alter the routing tables. When we reinstate them we can telnet to the bsd box then telnet out. What we would like to do is to set up the BSD box to dial and remain on line and then for the other boxes to use netscape and the usual apps directly onto the net. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions that we can follow. If possible can you treat us as totally ignorant and spelt it all out in detail. That will help us make sure we dont miss anything. I think we're strong on some points but not on others. As usual can anyone who can help please mail directly back to us as we have little time to follow the news groups looking for replies. We'll post any help we get in case anyone else is as stuck as we are. regards Gavin Forrest
