Hey, thanks...  (& for your previous message a couple of days
ago, too, but I've been having email troubles.)

But it still doesn't work, i.e. no change from previous
behavior.  As a test/example, traceroute from the "private"
machine to anywhere "outside" stops at the gateway machine.

This *has* to work somehow - I got this to work a few months
ago for someone using Windows 98 & its ICS (Internet Connection
Sharing).  This is obviously some kind of "operator error" (&
truth-be-known, probably yet another shortcoming of Windows,
security-wise), but I can't find the information I need to
make this work.  :(

For example, which IP?  What change(s) do I need to make to my ipfw
fules and/or natd to fix this?  Or maybe I should use ipnat?
