I am learning BSD with 3 successful units. 1-100mhz pent. running 4.11 1-180mhz pent. running 5.4 and one 266mhz AMD running 5.4 I have learned the ins and outs of X, changing rc.conf and am quite good at reinstalling the system after a few "learning" adjustments. Just for fun and my own enjoyment in learning, I have now accepted the=20 challenge of my own home network. I have been able to connect all boxes to = my=20 DSL router with DHCP and manual IP assignments and changed/setup NIC's with= =20 ifconfig. My reference materal is the Handbook from FreeBSD.org and "The=20 Complete FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey. Now the problem! DSL is 192.168.1.1 - Box B has two NIC's rl0=3D192.168.1.100 netmask=20 255.255.255.0 and is connected only to 192.168.1.1 ping works/outside=20 internet works. Box B second NIC rl1=3D172.16.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 and is connected to= a=20 standalone switch/router.=20 Box A has one NIC eth0=3D172.16.1.35 and is connected to the standalone=20 switch/router. Box A can ping 172.16.1.35 and 172.16.1.1 on box b. It can N= OT=20 ping 192.168.1.1 or access any outside internet. =46rom Box B keyboard, I can ping=20 192.168.1.1/192.168.1.100/172.16.1.1/172.16.1.35 =46rom Box A keyboard, I can ping only 172.16.1.35/172.16.1.1 I have tried ifconfig rl0 192.168.1.100 172.16.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 am= ong=20 many other configurations without success. =46rom my reading, I think the error of my ways is in the Box B between nic= rl0=20 and rl1. The data packets are not being forwarded from rl1 to rl0 or rl0 to= =20 rl1. Somewhere I have missed something. If anyone could point me in the=20 correct direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Donald=20
