Dear Stablizers,
My 4.0 system dials out over an external modem, and I have
here at home a W98 system connected to the FreeBSD system
over ethernet, expecting the FreeBSD system to be the Gateway.
How do I set this up? Just setting gateway_enable="YES"
does not seem to be enough. "IP masquerade" only appears in
the hype/advertising sections of the handbook directory,
as far as I can find.
Is there another technical name for this?
I would be grateful for more recipe hints. My system
does dial out and connect to the world using ppp, but noow
I want to share this connection with other computers in the house.
The FreeBSD system's rc.conf.local specifies ip addresses as:
ifconfig_ppp0=""
ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0"
hostname="chica.renaldo.net"
That last host name is not really legal. Is that a problem?
In /etc/resolv.conf, I actually have another domain name set
(the one of my IP, a university).
Well, I don't want to go on too long, if you can just
please answer with a nice link to a detailed recipe, or
a few .conf files that work for you, I would be ever so
grateful.
Thank you,
Wayne M Barnes stabilizer@klentaq.com
