Hi,

    I am trying to setup a small network at home. On one machine, I
have a SLIP dialup link that connects me to my ISP (box A) and an
ethernet NIC that connects me to another box B. Both are running
Linux.

    Here is the output of 'route' and 'ifconfig' on box A :

... and here is the same output from box B :

          TX packets:185 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
          Interrupt:5 Base address:0x290 Memory:d0000-d2000

I can ping box A from box B and vice-versa. I thought the above
settings would allow me to ping ip-addresses on the internet from Box
B, but it doesnt. What am I doing wrong?

TIA,
Kenneth
