What does your firewall script look like? Mine (2.2.8-Stable) has
an option that automatically adds the appropriate rule if I have natd
enabled in /etc/rc.conf.
Also, I found that to get natd working it was necessary to have
hostnames for all the machines on my network in my /etc/hosts file.
Something like this:
10.0.0.1 gateway gateway.fakenet
10.0.0.2 workstation workstation.fakenet
I put those entries in my /etc/hosts file on the natd box, and on
my dual boot workstation I put the same /etc/hosts for freebsd, and in
c:\windows\HOSTS for windows booting (note, this is NOT hosts.txt).
HTH,
Doug
