computers on the network. However, I did not do the
latter part of your instructions because I do not know
the name server of my ISP. Is there anyway that the
computer can autoconfig this, or do I have to check
with my ISP?
I am not sure if NetBSD can autoconfig the DNS servers. My GNU/Linux box is currently my gateway. It uses the wvdial program (sadly not available on NetBSD at the moment), which does all work necessary to establish a ppp connection, including autodns. I just copied the dns addresses obtained by autodns into my NetBSD box's /etc/resolv.conf. The easiest and quickest way to determine the nameserver is to mail support@<yourisp>.
