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.
