Hello everyone,
I'm Running FreeBSD 4.8-R, NATd, Firewall enabled.
This box acting as a gateway.
Modem Router calling the Internet and connected to rl0 in my FreeBSD
and rl1 connected to HUB clients.
When I plug the network cable From the Modem router directly to my
FreeBSD in the first NIC rl0 it doesnot take the internet connection.
and nor the light in the rl0 lights.!
So to solve the problem, I have a small HUB i pluged the cable from
the router to hub (uplink) and from the HUB to rl0 then everything
works fine, and the NIC light comes on, and NATd works great
also all clients have the internet access.
The question is:
Why the network cable from Modem router to box directly doesnot
work in the time from Modem router to HUB and from HUB to BSD
box works fine?
Thank you all.
