Did this, and broke my Inet connectivity from the Free box.

If I ping datawest.net (my isp) I get 'cannot reslove: host name look up
failure.'

If I ping <numeric ISP assigned IP of my wife's WinBox> I get 'ping: sendto:
Permssion denied'

If I ping my linux box, works great.  Assuming telnet, etc. does too.

I am assuming if I change back to my old kernel I'll be able to ping the Inet
again.

Something stupid is wrong here, and I know it's a config somewhere (in kernel,
in rc.conf, in rc.firewall, in natd.conf?).  Just don't know where.

I was a Windows guru (still am I guess), getting to be a Linux (Redhat style)
guru.  Feel like a baby again w/ FreeBSD.  Ain't it fun!!  ;-)

TIA,

Ty

Look at the manpage for natd...  Toward the end of the panpage, you will
find instructions for setting up what you are wanting to do.  Sorry, but I
think you may have to recompile your kernel again.
