If you're using user ppp, rather than pppd, it's very simple. You just put "nat enable yes" in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. If you're using pppd, then you'll need to use natd instead. Also, you'll need to put "gateway_enable=3DYES" in /etc/rc.conf so your computer is configured to ro= ute packets from one interface to another. To enable packet forwarding without rebooting, just run, # sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=3D1 as root. You may encounter other problems, but they should be easy enough to solve. --=20 Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D --mP3DRpeJDSE+ciuQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use MessageID: /sQM9gu4hPLS/lXQv6Az1Q/A4bcCihuE iQCVAwUBOWpCwCsPVtiZOS99AQFR6QP+KAQSGX3wsuLh2Sp7gHDq37agQQI9WBMT 0eNgVj9QboNgzxENgMU7ythgA8gAmjGYi7X7gfE7HjEW4EOkNf4RApF8PQcqDPAU 61LP++4yUp82cBE5SiNjLTAgYZ9B22Oq4EjTo1oBvCARoawt/hzZnyOjNtWl10S3 /sT7keiHgLU= =PP2a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --mP3DRpeJDSE+ciuQ-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
