I'll take a look at your iptables and rp-pppoe wiki's. I did the dnsmasq configuration myself, the .conf is very well documented indeed.

The man pages helped me out tho. :) On 4/3/06, Thomas Bächler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mr FUBAR wrote: > > Quote from my BBS-thread (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=20152) : > > > > I'm writing a Wiki page on how to set up ArchLinux as a router / NAT > > (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Router).
