Internet with PPPoE – no Internet for Clients

Hello,

my Setup:

– OS X Server 10.4.8
– Internet Connection over PPPoE
– Internet over NAT to the Net (normally not possible in OS X, but works with a little Trick or with a little tool, which i discovered afterwards)

Now I’ve got the problem, that the clients got only internet access, when the DSL-Port (ppp0) is on first place in the hierarchy of ethernet ports in the network-prefpane.

This is a problem because when i open the workgroup manager, it gets the ISP hostname instead of the servers hostname (i.e. “Location: hostname.isp.com/LDAPv3/127.0.0.1).
I get only the correct hostname in the workgroup manager if the ethernet port is on first place in the ports hierarchy.

Would be great if someone had a tip for me.

Thanks and best regards
