I got a couple of questions that you gurus could shed some light for me. I have recently gotten myself DSL connection from Bell of Ontario, Canada. Now, I am able to surf and exchange mail using my freeBSD machine acting as NAT device; however, I could only do it in ppp program's own nat function. I would like to change it fully over to ipfw and nat, and leave ppp to do only connection, but don't know how yet. Has anybody ever done this? My research on the web turned there used to be sympatico user group how-to file for freeBSD, but it is no longer there. If someone already have made this work, please give me some pointers to work this out. Also, since I have a couple of boxes with M$ OS, I thought I might could do DNS set up on freeBSD box using 192.168 block, but it isn't working out. I tried it with dummy domain name. I don't have registered IP block to use, except DHCP assigned one from Bell when I connect. Is it even possible?
