i'm now using OSX's built-in NATD to share my PPP AOL connection.
i've stumbled across a performance problem, though:
whenever i want to communicate with a machine on my LAN, i use its private IP, but the connection is forwarded through PPP and only reverted to my LAN again when the PPP attempt times out. any ideas how to fix this? i've tried going through ipfw's manual and passing/diverting from "any to not (LAN addresses)" and "not (LAN addresses) to any" to no avail. any ideas? or maybe a correct form for these? the setup script i'm using is:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1"face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR><pre><font size=1 face=courier> #!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/natd -dynamic -interface ppp0
/sbin/ipfw -f flush
/sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via ppp0
/sbin/ipfw add pass all from any to any </font>[/code]
also, my private network is has addresses 10.1.1.*
thankya :cD
