I have setup my 3.1-RELEASE box as a gateway for my lan. I followed the directions in the handbook/man pages for setting up PPP, and it seems to work correctly ( i use the command ppp -background -alias isp to start ppp). I also did the same for natd, which also is (kinda) working. The problem is that after running for hours problem-free, natd and/or ppp will just freeze. I cannot connect to any remote computers (telnet, ftp, http), nor can anyone connect to me. I think it may have something to do with my routes getting messed up, because when i do a "netstat -r" after it freezes, no routes are printed and I have to ctrl+c to get back to a prompt. There doesnt seem to be any particular reason that causes this freeze. Hopefully I explained this somewhat clearly, and I hope someone can help. If you need anymore information (my ppp.conf, etc) let me know. Thanks alot, Ben Stuart To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
