Hello all,
please imagine the following situation:
I have three unix machines, say A, B, C (last both run 386bsd).
A and B are connected via slip, B and C via Ethernet (ne2000).

Networking (ping, telnet, ftp etc.) works from A<->B and from B<->C
(both ways).
But i can't ping C from A or A from C.
Of corse i set the routes on A and C like
A: route add C B
C: route add A B
netstat -r on B (the router) says:
A<->sl0
B<->ne0

It seems that packages arrive on sl0 and ne0 (netstat -i), 
but they are not forwardet to the target machine. 

Is this a configuration problem or a bug in 386bsd?

Any help, any FAQ?

Thanks,
