Hi,

Sorry if this is out of place, but I am having an issue with forwarding 
packets on my freebsd-current box from a windows PC.

Here what I'm trying to do:
I have two network cards, one on a university network and one going to a 
router, which is connected to a cable modem. Both cards use the vr driver. 
University is configured through DHCP, private router is just specified (
192.168.1.110 <http://192.168.1.110>). I am trying to route traffic to the 
internet through the router while keeping all university traffic internal. 

Problem: 
I run a traceroute from my freebsd box to the university network and it 
works fine. I can access the website (129.97.128.40 <http://129.97.128.40>) 
through the internal network. However, using my windows PC - with the 
freebsd server specified as a gateway - it just times out when trying to 
connect to the web site. Any website on the internet works fine, but not the 
intranet. 

Here is my config, I am just setting a static route to the ip of the website 
to test for now:
netstat -r

Can anyone provide me with aid, or at least the location of a log file for 
the gateway functions of the machine?
