you were half way there, 

/etc/rc.conf should also have ppp_nat="YES", also, start pppd with
- -nat(or -alias for backwards compatability) flag

| 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,
|
