Everything works just fine from the FreeBSD machine itself after I start up pptp, but all my attempts to get to the outside world from the Windows NT machine via the FreeBSD machine fail. A ping addressed to the outside world, for example, from the Windows machine will either timeout or show destination unreachable. I can fix the latter by defining a default routing through the FreeBSD machine, but the traffic still doesn't get actually get through, and I still get timeouts. What am I doing wrong? Surely I'm not the first person in the world to do this? I can't find anything anywhere on the Web that seems to describe how to set this up.
