Thanks dave. That helps. I made some progress from yesterday actually. Now I can ping from the the machine behind the router to the router. I can also ping from the router to the external gateways. But I cant ping to sites on the web (www.yahoo.com) and it wont resolve the domain name to the corresponding ip. So I thought maybe I need to look into the inet.conf file and uncomment the tcp deamon to be active at boot. but it did not do it. I also updated the dns list in the file for nameserver. I know I am closed but there is something missing.
also does ipsec comes in the 1668 self contained floppy image or do I need to copy it there?
