John, Thanks for the reply. I know the 192.168 is reserved for Intranet's only, that's why I am using them on the ethernet and trying to use PPPD to obtain the Internet addresses. PPPD man pages say you can do it this way and the handbook provides almost this exact example using PPP. My understanding is that proxyarp is supposed to provide this "aliasing" so that the local net can use the PPPD connection. I had it working once using PPP by playing with manual settings which I thought I documented well, but now can't reproduce :-( . I haven't yet gotten PPPD to work with the proxyarp.

You have to set up NATD/IPFW to get address translation if you want 192.168.x.x hosts to talk on the Internet.
