Hi, If net access is provided via your home office, you should only do the packet aliasing at that point - the connection between the two offices should not be aliased. The two networks should then talk with a simple ``add <network> HISADDR'' on each side where <network> is the remote network & mask (something like ``1.2.3.4/24''). > Greetings all, > > I'm a FreeBSD newbie, and I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone > can give me with a problem I'm having. > > I've created a dial-up WAN connection between our satellite office and our > home office with two FreeBSD machines: 1 acting as a PPP client at the > satellite office, and another acting as a PPP server in our home office. > Because we have two different subnets, and access to the Internet here, we > set the PPP client up via a "PPP -auto -alias demand" type connection so the > satellite office could have Internet access, and it works great at the > satellite office.
