I am having a huge problem with ipmasquerading. My network and ppp connection appears to works by themselves. Once I try to use ipmasquerading I cannont do anything. I cannot connect to anything (either LAN or Internet) I use a modem to access the Internet. When ipmasquerading is turned on I cannot ping, traceroute, or use DNS for LAN or Internet. I am really starting to pull my hair out as this is absolutely necessary for using this Linux box to connect the LAN at work to the Internet. If I cannot get this to work, it will be back to NT. WE DON`T WANT THAT. Please if anyone can give step by step instructions for setting up ipmasquerading using PPP over a modem connection I would be very greatfull. I have looked at the ipmasquerading HOW-TO and it is very poorly written and not very helpful. I have looked in dejanews to no avail. I have tried setting it up by hand and using the dotfile generator. Nothing has worked so far. -- Bruce Jackson
