Hello, I have a machine running FreeBSD 4.5 STABLE. This machine has two NICs in it, one connected to the internal LAN and one connected to a ADSL modem (I'm using PPPoE). I've successfully managed to set them up so that the FreeBSD machine has access to the Internet, that works flawlessly, but I'm not able to get this machine to act as a gateway for other computers on my network. For the time being, internal IP addresses are used, but real once will be put in place in the not so distant future. I've done the following: rc.conf: PPP_NAT=3D"YES" ENABLE_GATWAY=3D"YES" ppp.conf: nat enable yes I've compiled netgraph into the kernel (NETGRAPH, NETGRAPH_EHTER, NETGRAPH_SOCKET). Of the two NICs, only the one connected to the LAN is configured during startup. The ADSL connection is also established during startup and tun0 is added as the default gateway interface. I don't have a firewall running (yet). I have a DNS server on this machine, and other machines can successfully lookup hostnames. But when I tell them that they should use the FreeBSD machine as a gateway, they simply time out when trying to connect to something outside of the LAN. Any idea what I'm forgetting or doing wrong? - IT To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
