I have never used IPFW with ppp, but it looks like the original poster needs to provide a natd_interface, so that a divert rule gets enabled. Note that all the addresses he uses on his lan were RFC1918 ones. sdb -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
