/* HINT: Search archives @ http://www.indyramp.com/masq/ before posting! /* ALSO: Don't quote this header. It makes you look lame :-) */ On trying to setup masq in the linux box, have you checked that the mtu on both interfaces is the same. I couldn't get it to work until I manually set the correct mtu I have ethernet on my inside network and slip connection on my linux to the internet. I connected using dip and once connected I typed ifconfig sl0 mtu 1500 to set the same mtu on both interfaces and it worked perfectly.
