sammy# uname -a FreeBSD xxx.xxx.net.nz 3.4-20000217-STABLE FreeBSD 3.4-20000217-STABLE #0: Wed Feb 23 11:16:38 NZDT 2000 roguetr@rogues.lair.nz:/usr/src/sys/compile/ROGUETR i386 I've repeatedly tried to specify the range, in the ppp.conf file and through pppctl but still only the singular ports specified work. The only way I can see to beat this is redirect a couple of hundred ports manually. I swear the first time I specified the range a file tranfer worked and then after that not again. There are no errors, all the nat commands are successful, I've checked the ppp.log aswell. I don't know how to use the alias.log effectively tho, but it is there.
