I haven't been using FreeBSD very long but I decided to use it for a bit of a home project.  
 
I want to run my own wireless hotspot out of my house.  This is my setup:
 The internet connects into my FreeBSD box on ep1 (DHCP works and gets an ip from ISP)(connects fine and works 100%)
 LAN on tx0 (its a static IP and the DHCP brodcasts properly)
 WLAN on tx1 (also static IP and also DHCP works correctly as well)
 
So step one of my project works correcly but here's the kicker... The FreeBSD box is not properly forwarding packets or acting as a gateway or something.
 
I've spent hours on the net and configuring.  I can't get it to work properly.   Any help would be great.  Thanks
 
If anyone has got even just 2 nic cards one on the net one with dhcp working correctly please let me know.  I'll send files as needed.
 
Thanks in advance for the help
