No, not necessarily. I thought I'd had it figured out, too. The PPPoE config
script has a specific option for none vs. standalone vs. masquerade that you
have to choose during configuration. If it's running just fine using the
standalone option, then it has been figured out that it works, but it won't
do the masqerading part. The script sets up a file called pppoe.conf, and
that should tell which of the three options we're dealing with.
I've also figured out that there may distribution specific firewall things
that disable the forwarding after the pppoe software has set up masquerading,
which is something I also had trouble with and had to track down...eek! :-)
