Rather than having many separate rc files, FreeBSD consolidates them into one: /etc/rc.conf. There you may add the addresses for your internal network. You do not need to enable kernel IP masquerading since it is done by a user level library, libalias. > What lines go in this file?

Rather than use pppd, you probably want to use ppp. User mode ppp is sort of a combination of diald and pppd under Linux with some dip like features. Best of all, it's linked against libalias so that it can do IP masquerading. There are a few configuration files, but the most important one is /etc/ppp/ppp.conf which contains your login chat script. > Thanks, > Jason Bombelyn > root@oasis.zepa.net Have fun, Aaron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
