I'm running a NetBSD box with Apache web server, mgetty and pppd. I can dial into the box and make a ppp conection just fine. I can telnet, rlogin, ftp and just about anything you can think of accross the ppp link. Only problem is, I can't access html pages with a browser over the ppp link. It serves the pages up fine through the ln0 (ethernet) interface but not through ppp0. If I telnet over the ppp link to port 80 and issue a GET for an html page, that works but when I use the browser, it just hangs with "Host contacted. Waiting for reply..." When I look in Apache's access_log, it shows that the page I requested was serviced successfully. When I use tcpdump and monitor ppp0, I can see a few www packets but then they stop. Like I say, everything else works fine accross the ppp link. Any ideas?
