Hi, ppp newbie here.
I'm trying to share my freebsd machine's internet connection with my palm via bluetooth. The freebsd machine is connected via wired ethernet to a linksys wireless access point, that is connected to my cable modem on the wan side. The linksys AP is my gateway.


Bluetooth seems to be working fine. I can connect and ping the freebsd machine from my palm, but I can't get to the internet.
That is, I can't ping my ISP's DNS. I thought 'nat enable yes' or 'set nat enable' would do it, but no luck.


I run the following on the freebsd machine:
/etc/rc.bluetooth start ubt0
sdpd
rfcomm_pppd -s -C 1 -l rfcomm-server

and in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf I have this:
rfcomm-server:
  set device /dev/cuaa1
  set cd off
  set dial
  set speed 115200
  set timeout 0
  nat enable yes
  set ifaddr 192.168.0.1/0 192.168.0.2/0
   enable dns
  add default HISADDR
  open
  disable pap
  deny pap
  disable chap
  deny chap

if I do this in ppp.conf instead:
set ifaddr 10.10.0.2 10.10.0.201 255.255.255.0
where 10.10.0.2 is the wireless router(gateway), then the palm gets an ip of 10.10.0.201 just fine, and it can ping the freebsd machine (10.10.0.154) and the wireless router (10.10.0.2), but STILL can't get to the internet.
Also tried setting net.inet.ip.forwarding=1. No change.


Anyone have some suggestions?
thanks,
pete
