This is assuming you want to continue doing things the painful way. The easy way is to use the -alias switch to ppp and do away with natd altogether. > Thanks, > Brandon > -- > bfoz@glue.umd.edu > "Lead, follow, or get run over" > "In life there are those who steer, and those who push" > "I'm not impatient, the world is too slow" > "Life is short, so have fun, play hard, and leave a good looking corpse" -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
