Interfaces: dc0 - "public" to outside network(s) dc1 - internal 192.168.0.0/24 dc2 - internal 192.168.1.100/24, currently unused, gets the router (testing) dc3 - currently unused OS: FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE as of 10 December 2003 firewall: ipfw2 Running natd between dc0 & dc1 (& that works fine) dc0 gets its IP address, etc., via DHCP/dhclient. dc1 is configures statically & machines connected on that subnet work fine. dc2 should get its ip address, etc. from a Linksys WRT54G, but won't; syslog says "address in use." Problems/questions: dc2 has a Linksys WRT54G on it, & thus far, that box refuses to talk (not even ping/traceroute) with the fbsd machine, even if I set its ip-address & that of dc2 manually. (The Linksys defaults to running a dhcp server & its factory-supplied ip-address is 192.168.1.00 & it "tries" to setup the first interface talking to it to be 192.168.1.1). I've even configured that router/wap to "all-static" using a Windows2000 machine & it & the FreeBSD machine still won't talk with each other. Any ideas on getting this thing to work? It seems to work fine when connected to a Windows2000 machine. Yes, I've tried other interfaces & cables, etc, so I'm confident the hardware is fine. :) FAQs/documentation pointers are quite welcome. :) Thanks, -kc
