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. Wayne- There is a pretty nice (not sure how up-to-date it is because I haven't looked at it in awhile) explanation on how to do just this very thing using userland ppp (which has builtin aliasing).
