To enable gateway mode via the command line: /root> sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 Then in your rc.conf add the following to do so on every boot: gateway_enable="YES" The initial problem you described leads me to belive that this isn't currently configured. Also, if you're running natd, then you may need to make allowances in your firewall ruleset to allow the traffic to pass from one lan segment to the other. -- Micheal Patterson TSG Network Administration 405-917-0600 Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
