Organization: China House. Date: Tue, 6 Aug 1996 08:43:24 GMT Message-ID: <DvpK8D.DHu.G.nanguo@nanguo.chalmers.com.au> X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 26 No, I don't mean the man pages. I mean a definitive, clear set of instructions for implementing PPPD. It seems that FreeBSD can be used as a gateway, from a network to the internet, via an ISP. Trouble is figuring out how to do that. On a standard PC, ie; 2 com ports, how does one do the following :- 1. Setup com2 for dial out at 38K 2. Set up PPPD to dial up the ISP and stay connected, re-connecting if there is a down. Based on a permanent connection. 3. Route traffic from the network to which it is attached by Ethernet, out to the Internet, and pickup traffic from the Internet for the internal network. Not acting as a DNS server, just a router? Is this possible with FreeBSD? bob -- The China House Sheng Huo Jiu Shi Dou Zheng robert@chalmers.com.au for Whirled Peas http://chalmers.com.au Location: Web Works Whitsunday. 21'7" S, 149'14" E.
