Yes if your running ppp you'll need to start ppp with a comand similar to ppp -alias -auto myispsname Check out http://www.FreeBsd.org/search I believe this is the url the search page. try searching mailing list for ppp -alias I'm sure you'll find links or examples of how to set things up. Hope this helps. :-) -----Original Message----- From: Dan Langille <junkmale@xtra.co.nz> To: Kevlyn <kevlyn@arythia.com> Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Date: Saturday, October 03, 1998 2:27 AM Subject: Re: Setting up BSD as a gateway I've added freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG back into the headers.
