in /etc/rc.conf :
gateway_enable="YES" # Set to YES if this host will be a
gateway.
what are your IP addresses on your intranet ?
if these are private (eg 192.168.xxx.yyy), you will need to use Network Address
Translation (man natd / man ipfw)

How do you make a machine a gateway?
I am looking for simple step by step instructions.
Please reply to this email address as I am NOT on this mailing list.
I have read the 'Red' book (Unix System Administrators Handbook) and I have
read the 'Crab' book (TCP/IP Network Administration by Craig Hunt). I have
fiddled and fiddled with 'routed' and '/etc/gateways'. I think 'gated' is
overkill for what I want to do.
I have name resolution working but I can't get a packet through the FreeBSD
machine and back to my machine. I am the root and the administrator on all
machines involved so I can change anything which needs to be changed. I
just don't know what to do.
My configuration:
The 486-based FreeBSD machine has two network cards. One card links to the
Internet via a cable modem. This works fine and great. I can do all
things internet from the FreeBSD machine. The second card connects to my
Intranet where I have some Windows NT 4.0 machines. I can even 'ping' the
Windows NT machines. From the Windows NT machine I can ping both network
cards in the FreeBSD machine, I can even resolve any name.
But if I try to 'ping', 'ftp', 'http' or anything else it just won't do it
and the 'tracert' (Windows NT name for 'traceroute') shows the packets
getting to the FreeBSD machine just fine, but then they never get any further.
I can probably give you more information that you ever need but I am just
hoping that someone else has done this. I figure this is a common thing to
do and I am looking for a straightforward discussion of exactly what I am
supposed to do to make it work.
I am a software engineer for Windows and would consider myself quite adept
(isn't that what all engineers say) at most things computer like, it's just
that it has been 12 years since I used UNIX on a daily basis.
