The tutorials are a bit dated. You don't have to modify your kernel to run pppoe, just let the automatic loading take care of it. >second question: you can add options for NAT in the ppp.conf file. does >this mean that ppp takes care of all the NAT stuff? or do i still have to >set up natd? if ppp does take care of all the nat stuff, do i still have >to compile IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT into the kernel? Ppp will handle nat for you.
