I was thinking of FreeBSD Firewall and NAT box to connect my home network to Internet. I have install FreeBSD 4.3 with two NICs, and they both works just fine - I can ping others in my home network from the FreeBSD box (from the both nics). But I have problem in connecting the FreeBSD box to Internet - I have try to ping something in Internet but there was only request timeout messages or even nothing!!! (I know my Roger's IP address, net mask, gateway. I use DNS server from other IS provider.) When I put all this (IP, MASK ..) in Windows box - windows have internet connection and I can ping everything. But from FreeBSD - nothing. I have try to change the NICs (wich one is inside and wich outside (IP's, mask and gateways also)) And there is one more problem: I have Web cam wich is with build in UNIX (Idont know what kind) - she is standalone, and I have problem in pinging this camera from internet even when she is connected DIRECTLY to the cable modem. When someone from internet try to ping the Web camera or the FreeBSD box I can see the blinking light for incoming data in the camera's NIC indicator. But the packets never get outside my modem (or gateway) The same is for FreeBSD box also. It looks like the IP packets never get outside my cable modem (or gateway) from FreeBSD and this WebCam, But they get out from Windows. ?!!?!?! Is there somekind of MTU settings or ... I dont know .... for blockin all packets that are not comming from Windows or just this Cable modem is not working. (I have other FreeBSD box connected to Inernet with cable modem (in the other place (Toronto) and he works perfect!!! but this FreeBSD box that is in Mississauga just can not get outside from the gateway ;-( It was bad description but I have tried ;-))) Miro P.S. I just find out that if right after reboot of the FreeBSD box I ping sommething in Internet all seems to be in order, and everybody from Internet can ping FreeBSD box. If I dont ping something - nobody can not ping this box from Internet. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
