Start here for PPPoE: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pppoe.html As for the routing, it's actually a lot easier than it sounds initially. Look here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/advanced-networking.html and here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/routing.html and here, maybe: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/natd.html Cheers, Jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
