I've always found the FreeBSD documentation somewhat fuzzy on this point, or at least not very detailed. The OpenBSD project has some nice documentation for what you need and I think it applies almost fully to what you need to configure on your FreeBSD system. At least enough for you to understand how it all works: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#6.3 Joakim Ryden Yesterday at 10:10pm Wayne M Barnes <stabilizer@klentaq.com> suggested: =>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?
