The first one is the at&t gateway : 12.103.21.1. I guess it's the entry point to there backbone !? But there is no MAC address coming with... instead I have the mention "incomplete" . That could be my problem ??? If it is where could I find this particular MAC address ? Do I have to call them ? Or my setup was wrong ? I also have a second line referencing the freebsd box itself by the internal LAN NIC : 192.1668.1.1 with a MAC address is it normal ??? > RazorOnFreeBSD wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I just setup a freebsd box with the 5.1 release to be a gateway/firewall. > > The installation was smooth and to setup the gateway/firewall with nat a lot of sources are available on Internet. > > Here is my problem, I can't connect to Internet from the Freebsd box. > > I have DSL and my ISP is AT&T, I have a static IP wich means I don't need to run PPP to connect. > > > > FreeBSD Internet NIC is : 12.103.20.x > > > > When I type ifconfig my NIC looks fine, up and running : > > > > rl0 : 12.103.20.x > > > > For information the freebsd box contains 2 NIC's one for Internet the other for the LAN (192.168.1.1) > > > > If I ping myself no problem everything's fine, but I can't ping a web address. I don't know if it is possible under unix but I use to "ping www.yahoo.com" for example to know if it's well connected. But the best proof is when I try to install samba my freebsd gives a time out reaching the samba server on the web.... > > > > Do you have dns servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf? > nameserver > nameserver > > arp -n -a , does that mention the router's ip and mac addres? > > Try it (: > > > > > -- > > Kind regards, > > Remko Lodder > Elvandar.org/DSINet.org > www.mostly-harmless.nl A Dutch community for helping newcomers on the > hackerscene > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
