Try "sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding" - it should be set to 1. If not,
you can set it in rc.local with "sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1" or
you can put "options GATEWAY" or "options IPFORWARDING=1" in your kernel
config. "man options" explains the difference between those two.
However, you mentioned you saw packets going out ppp0 so this might not
be the problem, but I thought I'd mention it in case it helps.
CU! Mike.
