Make sure that `gateway_enable="YES"' is set in /etc/rc.conf. 2. Run `sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1' if you don't reboot after doing #1. 3. When you dial up with `ppp', run it with the -alias option: ppp -alias provider 4. When the connection is made, fire up you Winblows box and enjoy. -alias sets you up as Network Address Translation router.
