Ignorant too... Ok, Unless you are running a multi-sub-net system on your side with more than one router, you should just set your FreeBSD machine as the default gateway for all other machines. PPP is already setting your default route for the PPP link so that is taken care of. All of this assumes that your ISP is routing a compleate class C or a sub net to you via the PPP link. IF it is a sub-net, make sure that all machines have the netmask set correctly. Hopefully this all makes sense...
