[Tfug] NAT question

[erich]

No,
    It should be ppp0, not eth0. I got it working last nite. It turns
out that:
                1) I had the wrong gateway address on the to-be-MASQed
                    machine, (It has to be the router's eth0 address)
                2) I had to install a utility on the router that mediates
                     DNS. Namely dnsmasq. This runs as a daemaon
                     activated at bootup

    Right now I have implemented DHCP, but I want to see if I can
live without it because lot of my machines can't be upgraded to use
it. They are legacy.
