Hi, I have a single DSL line with a single IP address and I am relatively new to FreeBSD (FreeBSD acts as a firewall/router for a local area network). What I would like to do is I would like to redirect all incoming connections (not only single ports) to an internal host (private IP address). Therefore I tried to use natd to reach this goal and set it up exactly as described at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?natd. Unfortunately it is not working correctly because I can't reach the services running on the internal host from external (e.g. Internet). Is there another way to accomplish this goal? I also tried to use a bridge which seemed to work alright but still I was not able to access the internal machine...any hints, comments or howtos? Bye and thanks, Werner.
