Don't worry about it. It takes time. I took about two weeks to get a working,
auto-dialing ppp connection, taking a couple hours a day reading stuff, trying
stuff out.

OK. I'm afriad I didn't follow your first thread so I don't know your
progress.
Do you have a working ppp connection? If so, can you auto-dial with it?

Make sure you have the latest version of PPP from
http://www.awfulhak.org/ppp.html, and get the new manpage too.

A note: you don't need natd if you're using PPP. PPP has a -alias option which
does essentially the same thing as NATD.
