I am running FreeBSD 2.2.2  I have configured auto PPP and my connection
is working great.  I have a Win95 box on my lan which can telnet into
the BSD box.  The only thing the 95 Box cant do is make the BSD box
start a ppp session and forward the packets.

Example I cant set the BSD box as the gateway and then load Netscape. 
It simply wont send the packets through and force the connection.

I have set gateway=YES in rc.conf.

Anything else I should be checking?


Thanks in advance.
