pppconfig that configures your connection pon [providername] Initiates it poff [providername] Stops it. Look at /etc/ppp/ for more files/options and more importantly /etc/ppp/no_ppp_on_boot (which you will change to /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot) for your gateway. apt-get install ipmasq Will get your ip masqerading working. And you can change the default dynamic firewall setup with the scripts in /etc/ipmasq. man ipmasq for more info Kind Regards Crispin
