- I'm in a very similar situation: I can connect from my home machine to
- the slip server on my office machine, but apart from being able to
- ping the slip interface, I can't get any further (can't even ping the
- ethernet interface on the slip server machine). I wrote Louie a while
- ago asking for help (Hi, Louie! I'm a paying customer....:-) but
- didn't hear anything.
-
- I wouldn't clutter the net with this, but I think that if someone
- could post a good description of what to do to establish connectivity
- on a slip server so that slip clients can connect to the net, it would
- be a public service. Louie's manual gives a fine description of what
- to do to get the client-server connection up. That's probably fine if
- you're using slip to connect to an existing server that someone else
- is already administering, but I don't know of a ready resource for
- what to do if you have to setup the server too.
