In a nutshell, all configuration scripts were correct; kernel was compiled and installed with the correct options, and both interfaces were working properly on the BSD box (public and private). The problem I was having was that I could not ping *outside* internet addresses from local machines through the gateway, but I could do so from the BSD box. Quite simply, I goofed. Being new to BSD I was doubting myself a great deal and got a little anxious, in the process of debugging what was going on I disabled NAMED, and forgot . I realized my whole issue was that I couldn't ping DNS names, of course when I tried a known outside IP it worked. Simple error, simple fix. Long time ;) Thanks to Ruslan Ermilov and Paul Murphy for your response, pointed out that everything really *WAS* ok! Cheers, and happy hacking all! /eli To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
