It is installed with 2 network cards and configured to be able to give Internet connection for the inside network (with one NIC, the other NIC is connected to the Internet via VSAT connection) # parts of sysconfig router="routed" gateway=YES firewall=YES The problem is when a computer from the inside network try to ping any Internet address (such as www.yahoo.com), it can recognize the IP address, but it receives 'Request time out' message. Most of our inside network computers are Win95 with TCP/IP installed, DNS enabled (we configure the BSD machine as name server, too). In this situation our inside computers can't ftp-ing any outside sites (but it can ftp-ing the BSD machine and also some other BSD machines that have the same position/connected to the Internet directly as the former) Is the configuration false? Is there something wrong with TCP/IP utilities (ftp, ping, etc) in Win95? (please note that our knowledge about what exactly a firewall/gateway in BSD term is just a little) Thanks in advanced. ===================================================================== Hendra Sentono | hendra@students.ukdw.ac.id Duta Wacana Christian University | http://www.ukdw.ac.id/ Student of Information Technology | =====================================================================
