Greetings:

Has anyone successfully installed and tested FreeBSD to act as an internet
gateway for other machines on a local net? I have been trying to get the 
FreeBSD box to act as a gateway with no luck.

I get connected via PPP fine, can access the internet from my local box, 
but it's as if the internet does not exist to the rest of my net.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Eric (ebush@nauticom.net)
