I am new to Debian, but is this still true? I do not have this package installed, but I am doing IP masquerading on my 2.2 installation just by making a script to execute on boot from the commands: ipchains -P forward DENY ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -j MASQ echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward after launching my pppd (dial on demand). Perhaps there are different ways to do it. Dwight
