Re:=20 "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. Steve
