using module ppp to bring up a pppoe connection does not work properly... description at: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-502169.html http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-502140.html can be solved using rp-pppoe instead of ppp, by modifying /etc/conf.d/net: example: config_eth1=( "adsl" ) adsl_user_eth1=( "username" )
I suppose you speak about SNAT rules set on your server. I hope you are aware of the fact that, in general, PPP links have dynamic IPs which means you should have MASQUERADE rules instead SNAT... unless you add/replace SNAT rule after you know the IP assigned to your ppp interface (hints: /etc/ppp/ip-up.local, postup() function in /etc/conf.d/net, ...). What rules does your nat table have?
read those threads please... the problem is not in NAT or iptables... the problem is in baselayout-1.12.5... http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-502169.html http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-502140.html
