Problem can be in how you are cabled or how you assign private lan IP address to xp box behind FBSD. An single xp box cabled to your FBSD needs to be cabled using an crossover cable. An normal configuration is cabling FBSD box directly to public internet cable or dsl modem and then have all the xp systems cabled to hub and the hub cabled to FBSD box. Xp uses DHCP to automatically get an network ip address assigned and the reference DNS server ip address to use. On an private lan you have 2 ways of doing this. The manual way is to enter the network assigned ip address and dns servers ip address into xp. The other way is to install an DHCP server software on your FBSD gateway box so xp can get the info it needs automatically. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Michael Zimmer Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2004 8:08 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: IPF/IPNat router/gateway Hello. I apologize for asking a question which has been asked several dozen times before, but none of the prior-offered solutions seem to work. I'm trying to use a freeBSD box (v 5.1) as a gateway/router for my network. I've got a static IP range for the network, but can't get things running. (...the local machines are all running Windows XP Pro) The local machines can connect to my ISP when they're plugged in to the uplink, whether individually or through a hub, and the freeBSD box can as well. ...however, a machine plugged into the BSD box is unable to ping the BSD box and vice versa. IPF is set to pass in/out quick all from any to any IPNat has the following rules set: map rl0 192.168.1.0/24 -> x.x.x.254/32 portmap tcp/udp 10000:40000 map rl0 192.168.1.0/24 -> x.x.x.254/32 IP of the BSD box is x.x.x.254, mask 255.255.255.224 on the external NIC IP of the BSD box is 192.168.1.1, mask 255.255.255.224 on the internal NIC the lone machine connected to it at the moment is set on IP 192.168.1.2, mask 255.255.255.224, gateway 192.168.1.1 ...and rc.conf has gateway_enable, ipfilter_enable and ipnat_enable all set to "YES" thanks. _________________________________________________________________ [1]Stop worrying about overloading your inbox - get MSN Hotmail Extra Storage!
