Hi On your gateway machine you don't want a default gateway as when you dial the internet the default gateway should be out there somewhere - at your ISP! On the other machines behind your FreeBSD box then set the default gateway to be the internal ip address of the FreeBSD Gateway box - 192.168.1.1. Trust this helps Gordon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pablo Delgado" <drako300@hotmail.com> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Cc: "Jonathan Chen" <jonc@chen.org.nz> Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 5:16 PM Subject: Re: GATEWAY PROBLEMS > There are three computers total: Internal IP > 1) FreeBsd Gateway Machine 192.168.1.1 > 2) FreeBSD Workstation 192.168.1.2 > I am using dial-up as internet uplink. > > > The contents of the rc.conf on the gateway machine: > # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Tue Mar 19 00:54:32 2002 > # Created: Tue Mar 19 00:54:32 2002 > # Enable network daemons for user convenience. > # Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf. > # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf. > gateway_enable="YES" > hostname="localhost" > inetd_enable="YES" > kern_securelevel_enable="NO" > linux_enable="YES" > moused_enable="YES" > nfs_reserved_port_only="YES" > sendmail_enable="YES" > sshd_enable="YES" > # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Tue Mar 19 02:14:45 2002 > ifconfig_de0="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" > defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" > will be bringing in aprox. 2 other computers. > The other workstations is connected directly to the gateway machine though a > crossover cable. > > NOTE: There is good connection and I will be bringing in aprox. 2 other > computers. > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jonathan Chen" <jonc@chen.org.nz> > To: "Pablo Delgado" <drako300@hotmail.com> > Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> > Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 2:19 AM > Subject: Re: GATEWAY PROBLEMS > > > > On Wed, May 29, 2002 at 01:35:45AM -0400, Pablo Delgado wrote: > > > I have been trying to setup my FreeBSD machine to act as a gateway. > > > After reading many tutorials nothing seems to work.
