Hi, is there someone who can help me setting up a freebsd router for ms clients (ppp with nat) ?

The ppp.conf file looks ok, perhaps it's the NAT setup that's causing the problem? I can't really help with natd issues - I use ipf/ipnat for packet filtering/nat. Do you have ppp/natd setup to handle NAT ok? You might want to forward your reply to my mail on the mailing list - I made a mistake and replied to you personally instead of to the list - that way there's a chance someone else can help!

For setup my T-DSL connection with FreeBSD there is enough information on the web. This works fine. On the FreeBSD Box ping, http, ftp works. I use ppp with nat. But I can't get work http, ftp on the Win Clients. Only ping works (with abs. IP adresses and symbolic). > > > > What can I do to enable the MS-Clients for http, ftp, ... connections. Do I have to setup more routing parameters. All the articels on the web are only about the setup of the DSL connection. But this was no problem.
