I sent this out and never saw it come back on the list...........


I finally put FBSD (2.1.0R) on a PC here at work and have it running.  My 
problem is, I can get to it easily from my Sun W/S here at work but
I can't get to it from my FBSD (2.1.0R) system at home!  The home system
can get to the sun, the work system can get to the sun.  I can ping the 
home system from work (sun or FBSD), I can ping the work system from home.
I CAN'T telnet/rlogin/ftp between the systems.  I can get to the sun
from home and THEN get to the work system, but not directly between the
two systems!  I thought it might be a problem with routing, 'cuz the
home system establishes a PPP link via an annex T/S so I EXPLICITLY set
the route to the annex.  Still no good.  I figure I must be suffering from
brain fade.........  Could some one provide some guidance??????

	I'm NOT running routed on the work system (using static routes only,
with a default to our CISCO 7000 and an explicit route to the sub-net 
the annex serves).  Communication everywhere is just fine, EXCEPT between the
two FBSD boxes.  I can even get to a couplea FBSD2.0.5R boxes we've got in
Ft. Wayne from the work box, just not between home and work.   HELP!
