[Voyage-linux] Traffic not passing through ALIX.6B2

[Andrew Post]

One step ahead of ya...I did, as you suggest, take a look at the
commented examples and "discovered" using the nat.sh in a stanza.  After
reverting to 0.5.2, I did that and it started working.  I'm not 100% I
was running the script correctly in 0.6.0, so I won't report is as a
bug.

Anyway, since my wireless card is useless and was the only reason I
needed the newer kernel, I won't be going back to it until the stable
release.  As far as the "dsl-provider" stanza being fancy, I know, but
it was a copy & paste from my laptop's /etc/net../interfaces which was
configured using pppoeconf.  I guess I could change it...  :)

The only problem I am having now is port forwarding for OpenVPN on a
server behind the router.  But I'm sure more reading and searching will
get me the answers I need.

Also, I'm learning how to use these mailing lists (if you couldn't tell
by the 3 threads I started).  So if this ends up being another new
thread, I apologize.
