Hello, I have managed to get Picobsd going as a NAT machine dialing my ISP using PPP. I am using the 'dial' version of Pico witht the 'ppp -alias' command to provide NAT functionality. I would now like to protect the Pico machine using firewalling features and also allow selective traffic into the private network (192.168.0.x) behind the Pico NAT box. What is the best way to go about this? I have had a look at the Pico 'networking' floppy. It seems that I should setup the firewall type in etc.conf as 'client'. The address translating function on the Pico machine will need to handle traffic coming from the internet into my private network right? Because of this I figured that since I am using some sort of NAT I only need to setup Pico to firewall itself and not the (non-routable) network behind it. I also noticed that rc.firewall needs the actual interface and address of both the inside and outside interfaces. How to I specify this if I'm using dialup PPP and an interface? From the outside internet I want to be able to setup an FTP connection to a machine behind the Pico NAT. How should I go about it? Will I need to run natd instead of using the NAT functions in PPP? _____________________________________________________________________________ http://geocities.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
