Dear Stabilizers,
Thanks to many of you for the clue that the FreeBSD terminology
for IP masquerade is "nat", as in ppp -nat. I'm all set now.

----- Forwarded message from Jonel Rienton <jmr@freebsduser.org> -----
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

Subject: Location of IP masqurade docs
| 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,
