"I set up NAT+ipfw on FreeBSD computer which resides on 192.168.2.x LAN, =
and has an outgoing ADSL connection. any client on 2.x can access =
internet by setting this freebsd box as its gateway. there is another =
server on the 2.x network which is used as a link to another LAN, 1.x =
subnet. those users can not use NAT on the freebsd box,since their =
gateway is a 1.x server,connected to 2.x server. how to enable users =
from 1.x network to use NAT on freebsd machine,without altering 1.x or =
2.x servers? note that 1.x clients know how to get to the freebsd =
machine (quagga-ripd), but can not alter their gateways to the freebsd =
machine,since it has to be the 1.x server.
so, how to enable 1.x user to use NAT on freebsd router?

sorry for a rather long post, and maybe slight confusion,but I believe =
you know what I have, and what I would like to do.

I know this was over a year ago - but did you ever get an answer? I am =
trying to chain multiple wireless routers (cuz that's what I have) and I =
think the router software is getting in the way. I have set up a static =
route so the second subnet can at least see the gateway box, but the =
NATting doesn't seem to work (i.e. no internet connection). This is =
Windows though (stop laughing) ;-). If I create a network bridge =
(software) I get even less - can't even ping the NAT host.

Any response appreciated.

Thanks.
