G'Day All,

What I want to do is so simple I cannot figure out why I cannot get it done.
I have a gateway box 192.168.40.1. Attached to that I have a modem. I would
like the rest of the network 192.168.40/24 to use the .1 box to access the
net. I have set up the dial up info using pppconfig, but the routing does
not appear to work. I can ping the 192.168.40.1 box from another machine on
the network say 192.168.40.10 but when I tracert to say www.hp.com
<http://www.hp.com>  from the 192.168.40.10 box I do not seem to go out the
ppp0 link. I have no firewalling whatsoever in place. Can someone please
point me in the direction of a FAQ / HOWTO that shows how to set up a LAN /
Dialup configuration such as the above?
