I think all you need is natd_interface=rl0 natd_flags="-log_ipfw_denied -log_denied" The latter is just so that you can see spurious connection attempts in /var/log/security. Check man natd for more info. Also, you'll have to either statically configure your wife's PC to use 192.168.1.2 (or whatever), default gateway/route 192.168.1.1 and proper DNS. Alternatively install and configure dhcpd, or, which I like more for a simple application like that, dnsmasq. Google will tell you more :-) -- Kilian Hagemann Climate Systems Analysis Group University of Cape Town Republic of South Africa Tel(w): ++27 21 650 2748
