First of all sorry about the duplicate post, I got a bounce message and sent 
it again by mistake.

Anyway back to the problem.

I went from 4.5 to 4.6 but the only reason I'm using ipnat is that I am 
doing port forwarding from my firewall to my internal server for some 
services (www and smtp) and I don't know how to use ppp -nat.

The other reason is that I'm using the ppp.conf file that was supplied to my 
with the speedtouch USB modem software and I need to reload my rules 
manually before I can connect to the outside world, i'm assuming that this 
is because the ADSL connection is established after the ipf rules have been 
loaded.

On closer inspection I have noticed that I have not indented the ipf and 
ipnat lines in my ppp.linkup file and being that the sample files are doing 
this I guess it is required (can't belive I missed that).

Regards

Grez..
