O.K. Now I want to install debian's packages via ftp. I have a win95 and two FreeBSD boxes ( called Fa and Fb) in my office, Fa has a modem connecting to Internet, Fb and win95 access Internet through Fa. Since only pppd comes with debian base system, all I can think is: setting up Fb as a gateway and a pppd server, then connect my note book (called Na) to Fb using a null modem. My private network layout is:
|--------|----------| Na--------------Fb Fa Win95 null modem | Internet Now I make Na and Fb ping each other successfully, and am sure packet forwarding in Fb is enabled, but I can't ping Fa from Na, did I miss something? I have not much experiences on pppd, any helps or hints would be appreciated. Jonah -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
