I have 4 X86 based machines at home on a local net with 10Base2 wireing. The local network IPs I've set for the NICs are: IP address subnetmask gateway 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.4 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 All machines have Win98, and FreeBSD 3.4 installed. The networking and shares between OSes works great. The 192.168.1.1 machine has an ISA 56K modem which I use to dial up to my local ISP. This works in Win98, and in FreeBSD. I've sucessfully used pppd, user ppp, and the kppp that comes up on the menu in my KDE desktop under Xfree86 3.3.5. I've tried using natd to allow the 3 other machines to connect to the internet through the 192.168.1.1 "server" with NO success. I've read the man pages for ppp, pppd, and natd, and made the appropriate modifications to the kernel, /etc/rc.conf, /etc/ppp/ppp.conf and have not been able to get this to work properly. Am I doing something wrong with the subnet mask ? Is there something I've overlooked that natd needs to have running ? I'll be happy to email anyone my current rc.conf, ppp.conf, kernal settings, etc. if they think they can help. Otherwise , I'll just keep digging until I solve this . Many thanks in advance.
