Thanks for your help, everybody! Turns out the provider gave us the wrong numbers! Everything is hunky dory now! Well, almost :) ... I'm still having trouble getting NAT/aliasing/ masquerading/ whatever you wanna call it working... the ppp one doesn't seem to work at all for me (I tried a -alias in my ppplogin.sh and tried taking that out and putting in alias enable yes in the ppp.conf... neither seemed to have any effect. I can ping/telnet/ftp other machines on the local network, but as soon as I try to go through the gateway the outside world, nothing is returned... I'm messing with natd on another terminal as I type :) so I'll see how that goes.. any comments/suggestions on which is the better choice, or maybe something I'm missing with ppp? Thanks again! BTW - please reply to frumpler@hotmail.com, as I am not on the mailing list :( -form > >I'll take a crack from what I see here. Are you pinging from your ppp >connection?
