Hello Friendly FreeBSD people.

Let me get straight to the point.

I am implimenting a FreeBSD Based Firewall.

I have an ADSL Speedtouch 5200 Modem/Router, Currently Plugged into my 
Switch.

I want to connect the ADSL modem to my FreeBSD Firewall;
So that the FreeBSD Firewall will be creating a PPP connection directly to 
my ISP.
E.g., my vr0 interface will have a PUBLIC Internet Address (IF Possible?).


My Isp Uses PPPoA, i used the instructions from the handbook;
Using 'mpd'.
I set the ADSL router in 'bridge' mode and connect the Ethernet cable
from the Dsl Router/Modem to my FreeBSD Firewall. ON the Interface vr0.


But i have little success getting the results i want. [The Firewall doesn't 
connect to my ISP]


Anyone willing to give me a clue?

    set pptp enable originate outcall
    set pptp self 192.168.0.1
    set pptp peer 192.168.0.254
----------------


192.168.0.1 = vr0 interface [ firewall ]
192.168.0.254 = dsl modem/router.

Empty /etc/ipnat.rules; empty /etc/ipf.rules
