How do I set this up? Just setting gateway_enable="YES" does not seem to be enough. "IP masquerade" only appears in the hype/advertising sections of the handbook directory, as far as I can find. Is there another technical name for this? I would be grateful for more recipe hints. My system does dial out and connect to the world using ppp, but noow I want to share this connection with other computers in the house. The FreeBSD system's rc.conf.local specifies ip addresses as: ifconfig_ppp0="" ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0" hostname="chica.renaldo.net" That last host name is not really legal. Is that a problem? In /etc/resolv.conf, I actually have another domain name set (the one of my IP, a university). Well, I don't want to go on too long, if you can just please answer with a nice link to a detailed recipe, or a few .conf files that work for you, I would be ever so grateful. Thank you, Wayne M Barnes stabilizer@klentaq.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
