While responses were generally helpful, I still have the same basic problem. After a little research, I have enough knowledge to ask the right questions (ie. just enough knowledge to be dangerous). Here's some pertinet info: 1. My ISP (Bell Atlantic) uses PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet). I need to use iVasions WinPoet PPPoE software to connect. 2. I do not own a dedicated router. 3. I use a Westell DSL modem conected via the nic. 4. Under Windoze 95, I must use the usual dialup dialog, just like a dial up modem. Questions: 1. Does antone know a way to get PPP running over Ethernet ? 2. Since I have no dedicated router, and want to allow other PC's on the LAN to share the DSL conection, I sort of assume that I can simply use a FBSD box runnning a firewall or IP-filter along with natd to accomplish the desired task. Am I correct? (Don't worry about telling me how to configure for Firewalls, natd, etc. Figurig that out is half the fun.) My main problem is getting the ISP connection alive. I can do it with a dialup, no sweat, just can't get it going over DSL.
