I set up /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/00ipmasq as described and it still requires a 
fair amount of voodoo to get it working.

I still have to manually restart my ethernet interface ($ ifconfig eth0 
.....)
...then restart masquerading ($ ipmasq)
... and then it may or may not work after starting my dialup connection 
($ pon)

This requires a lot of  jumping back and forth as root, not exactly the 
elegant solution I'd hoped for.

Plus side is that I can access the Web from $MS and Linux over wireless 
(although I can't ping outside IP addresses from them?!?)  Things are 
peachy until I have to reboot!

Which network script is fubar-ed?

Thanks
