Read the fine manual, and add 'alias enable yes' to the top of the 'default' section in ppp.conf. > all you need to do is set the default router on FreeBSD #2. You also need to enable IP forwarding on FreeBSD #1 by typing 'sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding 1' as root. To make sure it stays on after a reboot, set gateway_enable to YES in rc.conf. > On FreeBSD #2, issue the command: > route add default 192.168.1.1 > > or, set up 192.168.1.1 as the "gateway" machine in the /etc/rc.conf file > on FreeBSD #2. You mean defaultrouter, not gateway. And you should do *both*, unless you have a particular reason for rebooting a computer that doesn't need to be rebooted.
