Hi all,
I am writing for help in configuring routed on a multi-homed machine that I am running. I have
two network cards in it, one w/ the IP address of 192.168.168.6 (internal network), the other with
the IP address of 24.18.0.253 (connection to the Internet via a cable modem). For the cable
modem to work, I must have the following line in my rc.conf:
defaultrouter="24.18.0.1"
I also have 'gateway="YES"' in my rc.conf.
My trouble is this: While I can access the internet just fine on the multi-homed host, none of
the other machines on the internal network can access the net through the multi-homed host.
On them, I have "defaultrouter=192.168.168.6" entered into the rc.conf or 192.168.168.6 entered
into the router field in the TCP/IP setup. Previously, when I was using only a dial-up PPP
connection to the Internet, all machines were able to access the Net.
Ergo, my question is this: What else should I do to get the multi-homed host to forward
packets between the 2 network cards? I'm also running DNS on this machine and it works fine
(ie if I try to ping www.altavista.com on another machine, it can at least resolve the IP address
for Altavista).
I've spent hours working on this, reading man pages, trying different configurations, etc. and
thus greatly appreciate any and all help on this matter.
Sincerely,
Charles Johnson
