In fact you get to choose, either use ppp with -nat or natd, but not both. If you use ipfw, using natd comes rather naturally. Likewise, using ipfilter with ipnat should also be possible. (but I have not tried that). On the other hand, maybe I will check with Brian Somers in case he has some compelling reasons to use the -nat option with ppp:-) -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szombathely Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
