dhcpd will likely tell your laptop to use your desktop as default gateway; this is all that's needed to make the routing table on the laptop work in the most common case. As to your second question, see the PF User's Guide - it even has an example detailing pretty much this scenario. It can be found at http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/index.html. Joachim
