Subject: NATD Problems, HELP!
Hello,
I have a small network I am trying to get up. I have a
computer named FOO that is my gateway. I have a client named BAR. Now
I can get out on the internet just fine with foo. With computer BAR I
can ping FOO, telnet into FOO and also ping FOO default GATEWAY and
DNS server. When I try to ping an address on the internet from
computer BAR for instance 208.220.149.252 I get a host name look up
failure. If I but the later IP address in my hosts file with the
HOSTNAME on computer BAR it will ping the IP address. So I think the
problem Lies in computer BAR. I don't have firewall or natd running
on computer BAR just computer FOO. my rc.conf on computer BAR is
basic. I just start the interface and set the default router to my
private class C IP address on computer FOO. Any help would be
apreciated. Oh, I am running FreeBSD 4.2 release on both boxes.
Thank You,
Robert Daniels
Make sure that the rc.conf for FOO has the line gateway_enable="YES"
Then make sure that rc.conf for BAR has the line defaultrouter="IP of
FOO"
Put the DNS IPs into the resolv.conf of BAR and you are set to go.
Josh
