Okay, i took your advice and added these lines to /etc/rc.firewall:
# allow everything for debugging rules
$fwcmd add allow all from any to any
I reloaded the rules but still can't connect to the nameserver. So this
indicates something else must be wrong i guess!
I tried a simple ping to the IP address of the nameserver and am getting
this:
# ping 66.135.144.2
PING 66.135.144.2 (66.135.144.2): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No route to host
ping: sendto: No route to host
(i get this if I ping either nameserver IP).
I looked at my /etc/rc.conf and there's only one line related to router or
gateway:
gateway_enable="YES"
Is there supposed to be other parameters here?
