Russell,
I think you might be on to something here. I am running RH 7.2 with the 2.4
Kernel. I got the rp-pppoe from Roaring Penguin and it is working fine for
JUST the Linux box. I don't remember any choices about masquerading when I
installed it, but if you could help get me zeroed in on that it may help me
fix this. I have tried about 20 times to use line command based on the
various fixes I have been told about and I haven't gotten anywhere.
Honestly, when it comes to doing it that way I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what I
am doing. It's like a guy with a private pilots license trying to land a 747.
I DID find and interesting firewall GUI thing that might help. I think its
part of KDE. It's comes up as "firewall-config" and has all kinds of stuff
about chains, masquerading, forwarding, and ... post nasal drip. So, maybe
this is the gadget I need to deal with. Certainly, its less scary than the
prompt! If it would help I could throw you some screenshots so you could see
what I'm looking at. I can find NO documentation for this interface at all.
I think its new.
Bob
