ok ok ok ok
little bit of a mess in explaing little diag

166 machine 1nic | Router 433 mach        | windows machine
ip 192.168.10.1   | 2 nics ip 192.168.0.2 |  bp6 x2 333 [at] 500mhz
modem to intnet    | ip 192.168.10.10       |  1 nic ip 192.168.0.1
                            | modem ax25 radio      |  rtty term
c1-----------------------c2---------------------c3


Right the   router has a modem  (tnc)on it ip 44.136.72.36 two nics 100mb.
c1 is the gateway to net and will eventualy have a firewall on when i have
got this thing to work .Right the telnet thing bit missleading cant do
direct so that's why i cant ping .All kernel's are standed at mo and windows
is usual c**p.And yes i want to compile the kernel and followed howto's but
does not seem to work???? as said prev.Reason i wanted to compile was to
enable ip_masq but found that in rc.config and enabled it so presume that is
it but still not work.

What sort of network do you want to have? Maybe a small ASCII
diagram could be useful. From what you mention, I understand (take c1 to
be the 466 Mhz box and c2 to be the 166 MHz one):

<-----Inner net------> _________ |<-------- Other net
[c1]----------->|<----|___c2____|---->| [INTERNET, outside net...)

Is this correct? And you say you can ping from c2 to c1 or from
c2 to an hypothetical c3 on the "Other net" region, but not from say c3
to c1. However, telnetting from c3 to c1 is fine. Are you positive
you're not "firewalling out" the ICMP requests? If I understood your
symptons OK, the problem seems to lie either in c3 filtering stuff out
or in c3 not responding to ping (I assume that these are running
standard kernels, therefore making this latter possibility *unlikely*)

Hey, hey... what config are we talking about here? Are you
trying to recompile the kernel?

I suppose, but putting some commas, full stops, full sentences
and all those things would have helped a lot :)
