Thanks Francis,

I tried this, and it worked :) Apologies for the many stupid questions, but 
thanks for helping me through it. The terminal output was:

Chris-Wraights-Mac-mini:~ chriswraight$ sudo 
/Users/chriswraight/Documents/Technology/RISC\ OS/RPCEmu\ Docs/macosx/startnat 
en1
Password:
net.inet.ip.forwarding: 0 -> 1
14201 divert 8668 ip from any to any via en1
14202 allow ip from any to any

After that, I managed to follow the instructions at 
http://www.riscos.info/index.php/RPCEmu_Linux_Guide#Network_support to get RISC 
OS networking setup. Entering *ping in a Task Window produces the expected 
results.

My attempts to run NetSurf have been less successful. I managed to load the 
RISC 
OS Open site, but after opening a couple of pages OK, it stopped fetching new 
ones (the throbber just kept rotating, but no data was loaded). Other sites 
have 
also failed to load, eventually producing a 'Timeout while trying to contact 
DNS 
Servers' error message.

Do I need to enable packet forwarding on the host machine to get NetSurf to 
work 
properly (I haven't attempted to follow the script in the Networking Support 
document, as the RPCEmu ReadMe said to ignore instructions relating to the 
Linux 
host machine)? Or have I missed something else?

As always, any help is much appreciated.

Cheers,
Chris
