With sparse documentation, I have managed to configure a FreeBSD MPD =
PPPoE Concentrator, and I'm accessing it with a Mikrotik PPPoE client. =
It works to some degree. I connect right away to the server, and if I =
change the password to an invalid one, it refuses a connection. However, =
from the client I can only get to the server. I can ping it, but =
anything else, in the same network, or out to the Internet fails. I can =
also pull up a website located on the same server as the PPPoE server.

Per the documentation I have found, I turned on gateway_enabled=3D"YES" =
in rc.conf. But to me, it seems like the FreeBSD server isn't forwarding =
the packets from the PPPoE client on like it should.=20

Is there anything I should do besides gateway_enabled=3D"YES" to be able =
to get the packets forwarding from the server to their proper =
destination (and back!).

I have pretty much figured all of this out by trial and error. Any help =
would be greatly appreciated. Just someone pointing me to a "how-to" =
that explains everything in more detail would also be great.  I have =
done a lot of googling on this issue, but I'm just missing the right =
info, I guess.

Thanks,

Jay
