I am new to FreeBSD and it is my first time to install FreeBSD. I installed FreeBSD 4.0 and am going to configure PPPoE and NAT. I followed the instructions found in FreeBSD.org web site and man pages and easily get PPPoE work. However, NAT don't work and its behavior is strange. My environment is one FreeBSD running as gateway, connecting my LAN and ISP using PPPoE and there is a Macintosh running Darwin in the LAN for my testing purpose. Either I don't enable NAT in rc.conf, or set ppp_nat="YES" , the behaviors are the same: In Macintosh, when I telnet to outside world, I can see the login screen and login prompt. Once I key in the user name and password, there is nothing to show on screen and eventually the telnet timeout and disconnected. Similarly in ftp: I can login ftp server but get no response after playing a very short while. ftp> user anonymous 123@123 ftp> dir (show something) ftp> cd pub (OK.) ftp> dir (no response! I tested for about 4-5 sites. All are "die" in dir the /pub directory.) I suspect two possibilities: 1. only the first packet (mtu or mur?) are transmitted successful but the subsequent packets are failed. 2. Something wrong in telnet and ftp packet translation. However, I have no clue on how to proceed futher. The /var/log/alias.log shows nothing helpful.
