I'm all set now. Wayne M Barnes stabilizer@klentaq.com ----- Forwarded message from Jonel Rienton ----- 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 Jonel Rienton http://qmail.freebsduser.org sent by qmail-1.03 on a FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne M Barnes" To: "FreeBSD Stable" Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2000 10:10 PM 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, To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
