I'm running FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE, and I'm trying to get it to act as a gateway
for my Windows 2000 box.  I can get online with my FreeBSD box using Kernel
PPP (pppd).

I already have gateway_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf but it still doesn't work.
My Windows 2000 box has the IP of my FreeBSD box for it's default gateway
for the LAN connection.  The Pedantic PPP Primer on FreeBSD.org says that I
should use 'ppp -alias' to allow this, but that is for user PPP.

Also, I used ms_dns in /etc/ppp/options (using my ISPs DNS servers)...

ms_dns     "216.115.128.33"
ms_dns     "216.115.128.10"

... I've tried it with and without the quotes.

As far as I'm aware the LAN is ok, because I can telnet, ftp, ping, etc. to
both computers, but my Windows box can't see the outside world when my FreeBSD
box is online.

Could someone please guide me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Jeremy L. Falcon
