[-- Attachment #1 --] I have 2 computers in my home network. One of them is running FreeBSD 3.3-Stable and the other Linux SuSE 6.1 THe FreeBSD box has the modem in it which connects to my ISP and is assigned a dynamic IP. FreeBSD - pn0 is assigned 192.168.0.98 Linux - eth0 (rl0) is assigned 192.168.0.99 I set up natd as follows: 1) Compiled in options ipfirewall ipdivert in a new kernel 2) added natd_enable="YES" firewall_enable="YES" gateway_enable="YES" in rc.conf 3) I edited /etc/services natd 8668/divert # now i know this shouldnt be very difficult but there must be something i am over-looking. After i compiling the new kernel ,editing the files i restarted my Freebsd box. after using ' ppp -alias my-isp ' i run ' natd -interface tun0 ' The freebsd box is connected to the internet at this point, but the linux box isnt. I set eth0 to use pn0's address as the gateway. what i ultimately want to do is share the one internet connection for both box's. ( Yes, both box's are talking to one another) if i issue ' nslookup ' on the linux box after a considerable amount of time i get an error message something similar to *** cant get name of 196.1.6.8 which 196.1.6.8 happens to be the nameserver of my isp. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
