Hello all,

I have two computers running NetBSD 1.3.2, an Amiga 4000 and a Pentium
PC.   These  computers are connected to each other through serial port
and  I  use  slip  to  run a network between them mostly to move files
around.

The  Amiga  is  also connected via modem to Internet using ppp.  These
both  networks  work  fine but I would like to gain access to Internet
from the PC when Amiga is connected to 'net.

I  am  not thoroughly familiar with networking stuff and I have only a
vague  idea  how  this  would  be  done.  I know that I need to add an
appropriate  route  (route  add  default  <gateway>) on the PC and the
Amiga  must  function as a gateway.  Knowing these I tried (recompiled
Amiga kernel with GATEWAY enabled) but failed.

First I tried on the PC   route add default wahoo
(wahoo  is the name of the Amiga).  After this networking on PC ceased
to work at all until I deleted that particular route.  Then I tried to
add a route through wahoo to that computer to which wahoo is connected
through PPP (194.251.131.20) and attempted to ping it from PC but this
did  not  work  either (no ping packet was replied).  Using netstat on
Amiga  I  saw  that  the  ping  packets  PC  sent got to the Amiga but
apparently it did nothing with them.

So, if someone could help me and tell how do I get this thing going.
