Don't. If Windows is even capable of acting as a router, I suspect it wouldn't do a very good job. Instead, get PPP working. You should have at least debug and chat logging enabled in ppp.conf (along with the defaults, so just add "chat debug" to the end of the "set log" line if they're not already there). Also, you should post your ppp.conf file to this list (with suitable editing to hide passwords) so that people might be able to help. Windows software may have given you the attitude to give up and not bother if something doesn't work first time, but with FreeBSD things generally work if you stick with it. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
