Ok,  I am a newbie to FreeBSD and networking, so I have been reading,
testing, and reading and testing some more, but seems that I am getting
nowhere.

I have a small network at home and a DSL router to connect to the
internet.  I can NIC any windows box up and connect to the internet by
using the information from my ISP.  I can NIC my FreeBSD box up and
connect to the internet.  I have placed two NICs into the FreeBSD trying
to set up a gateway and email server for the other computers.

Now, from the FreeBSD box I can travel the internet with no problems.  I
can ping  the other computers from the FreeBSD box with no problems.
From the other computers I can ping all the other computers on the
intranet and both NICs in the FreeBSD box but I cannot ping the DSL
router or anything beyond.

Is there anyone that can help me resolve this problem?  Here are what my
hosts and rc.conf files contain. I did not include the firewall since I
have made the firewall_type as "OPEN" while I have been testing.  I have
even tried removing the call to the rc.firewall file trying to get
through the BSD box.

hosts

127.0.0.1  localhost.myisp.com localhost
# NIC 1 ed1 on the FreeBSD box connected to the router
209.102.##.#8  bsd01.thehomesystems.net bsd01
209.102.##.#3  router1
# NIC 2 xl0 on the FreeBSD box connected to the hub
192.168.##.##0  gw.thehomesystems.net gw
192.168.##.##1  pc1.thehomesystems.net pc1
192.168.##.##2  pc2.thehomesystems.net pc2
192.168.##.##3  pc3.thehomesystems.net pc3
192.168.##.##4  pc4.thehomesystems.net pc4

rc.conf:

ifconfig_ed1="inet 209.102.##.## metric 1 mtu 1500 netmask
255.255.255.224"
ifconfig_xl0="inet 192.168.##.### metric 1 mtu 1500 netmask

hostname="bsd01.thehomesystems.net"
linux_enable="YES"
router_flags="-q"
router="routed"
router_enable="YES"
check_quotas="NO"
defaultrouter="209.102.##.#3"
sshd_enable="YES"
local_startup="/usr/local/etc/rc.d"
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall"
firewall_type="OPEN"
firewall_quite="NO"

Any help here would be extremely appreciated.
