Hi Tim --
I have succeeded in making ipfw going by doing 2 things:
1. Set up ipfw in the kernel.
To do this, I set these networking options (all other networking options
were not set, i.e., their value=n).
-----------
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y
CONFIG_NET=y
CONFIG_FIREWALL=y
CONFIG_NET_ALIAS=y
CONFIG_INET=y
CONFIG_IP_FORWARD=y
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL=y
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE=y
CONFIG_IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG=y
CONFIG_IP_ALIAS=m
CONFIG_IP_NOSR=y
CONFIG_SKB_LARGE=y
CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y
CONFIG_DUMMY=m
CONFIG_PPP=m
CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y
CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_3COM=y
CONFIG_EL3=m
-----------
I suspect I didn't have to set all of them, particularly
CONFIG_NET_ALIAS, but setting it doesn't seem to hurt much.
2. I have a line like yours in my /etc/ppp/ip-up script. Mine says:
ipfwadm -F -a masquerade -P all -S 192.168.0.2/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
where 192.168.0.2 is the IP address of my husband's Windows machine.
I suspect the differences between your line and mine don't matter very
much.
Other than that, all I had to do was to set up the appropriate
databases on the Windows machine.
Then it just worked. If this is any help, let me (really, the list)
know. I think a lot of people are wondering how to do this.
Good luck,
Susan Kleinmann
