Subject:   Still trying to use FreeBSD as a gateway for PPTP to DSL

I still haven't figured out what is wrong in my attempts to use my FreeBSD box
as a gateway to the Net via a PPTP connection to my DSL provider.  Everything
works just fine from the FreeBSD machine itself after I start up pptp, but all
my attempts to get to the outside world from the Windows NT machine via the
FreeBSD machine fail.  A ping addressed to the outside world, for example, from
the Windows machine will either timeout or show destination unreachable.  I can
fix the latter by defining a default routing through the FreeBSD machine, but
the traffic still doesn't get actually get through, and I still get timeouts.
What am I doing wrong?

Surely I'm not the first person in the world to do this?

I can't find anything anywhere on the Web that seems to describe how to set this
up.
