Hey:)
I am _not_ a linux guru, but I'll try to answer:) I'm afraid that I
threw out most of my notes when I stopped masqing, but here is what I
had to do:
In /etc/rc.d/rc.local, at the bottom, I added the lines
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -p deny
/sbin -F -a masq -S 192.168.0.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
the 192.168.0.0 needs to match your subnet. if the ips of the machines
you all ready have set up are, for example, 192.168.52.5 and
192.168.52.6 you would need to have 192.168.52.0
You also need to enable ip_forwarding, I think the best way to do this
is to edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network and change FORWARD_IPV4 to be
equal to true.

I am afraid that I don't know anything about this... I have never set up
ppp.

Ok, a problem that I think I can handle:)
You can either use linuxconf to disable it(control->Control
Panel->Control Sevice Activity->disable innd->activate changes) or you
can delete the link in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S##innd or you can just stop the
service temporarily with /etc/rc.d/init.d/innd stop
You might want to play with all three of these ways if only just to
learn:)
