I believe it is definitely either 'double' masquerading (once onto the slip and and then onto the ppp) or something bizarre like that. Yet - if my 'default' policy is to deny then I will have to add a rule to fwd rule-set on the slip interface - therefore all I will have to do is remove the '-m' (masquerade) option in my forwarding rules for the slip interface, no? - Rod -- ============ Geek Technology at its best: http://nuked.org =============== `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Rod Moffitt ICQ# 6696644 Linux: multi-platform, multi-tasking, [EMAIL PROTECTED] multi-user, fast & free! http://www.linux.org PGP RSA KeyID 570A0731 Protect your privacy! http://www.pgpi.com http://rodmoffitt.org Net, s/w & h/w consulting: http://vissitt.com .......................................................................... ========= Where loved ones are remembered: http://memoriam.org =========== Last yeer I kudn't spel Engineer.
