As in > o option gateway in your /usr/src/sys/../config (for old FreeBSDs) > o gateway in /etc/sysconfig (I think) I did set gateway to "yes" in the sysconfig file(and also put the "options gateway" in the kernel config just in case). And upon bootup a message does come across about gateway enabled... Some one said that the solution is having the FreeBSD machine act as a proxy arp. I have "enable proxy" in the ppp.conf file but still no luck. Do I need to use the "arp" command? If so what do I use for the hex(physical?) address of the dial-in PC?
