Hi, I have a question regarding the firewall. Let's say I have a FreeBSD box setup as the firewall. I alias the ip address, so the NIC has a real IP address, and 192.168.1.1. I then setup the rest of the LAN using 192.168.1.x address, with the 192.168.1.1 set as the gateway for all the win95 machines on the LAN. I recompile the kernel with IPFIREWALL, and IPDIVERT. Set rc.conf's firewall setting to YES, policy to 'open' for testing. edit /etc/service to insert NATD entry, and then start the natd with "natd -log -interface ed1" <ed1 is the NIC>. I did have the rc.conf GATEWAY setting to YES. But the Network Address Translating doesn't seem to be happening. the alias.log in /var/log is empty. Did I miss something simple, or am I totally clueless here? Is the routing/NAT not working becuase I'm choosing to use a non-routeable address, ie 192.168.x.x? If that's the case, then is the only way to setup firewall is, I can't use any of the reserve address? I suppose I can go to the proxy route instead, but for a general proxy that works with telnet, ftp, www, ICQ, real audio, ie all the typicall goodies a wi95 user would want to run, what should I use? Socks5? Thanks a bunch, Mac To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
