I'm not using natd, but ppp's built in nat feature. Here is my current ppp
config:
################################################################
# PPP Configuration File ('/etc/ppp/ppp.conf')
#
# Default settings; These are always executed always when PPP
# is invoked and apply to all system configurations.
################################################################
default:
set log phase tun command
set mru 1492
set mtu 1492
set ctsrts off
nat enable yes
nat same_ports yes
nat use_sockets yes
enable lqr
set device PPPoE:dc1
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0
verizon:
set device PPPoE:dc1
set authname MYNAME
set authkey MYPASS
set dial
set login
add default HISADDR
My /etc/rc.conf contains:
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_nat="YES"
ppp_profile="verizon"
dc1 is the NIC I have connected to the DSL modem. 'nat enable yes' and
'ppp_nat="YES"' are probably redundant. I can join battlenet games via this
set up without problems. I have just added the same_ports and use_sockets
options based on mail from "Bezerker" <bezerker@bezerker.org>, but haven't
had a chance to test if they allow me to host games.
