Hi Steve,

Thank you for your reply.
I have done 
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Unfortunately it does not solve the problem,
when I am pinging the router (192.168.0.1) from the
dial-in box (192.168.0.177) I am getting the message:

>From 192.168.0.178: Destination host unreachable

#netstat -nr on the dial-in server (192.168.0.177):

Destination     Gateway    Genmask       Flags

ppp0

Any suggestion, please?

Thank you.
