Here's the situation:

I have 2 class-C IP blocks.  The main network is 206.31.204.0, the second 
network is 206.31.205.0.  I have set up a FreeBSD machine with two 
network cards, ed0:206.31.205.1 and ed1:206.31.204.14.  I am creating a 
gateway from the main 204 net to the 205 net using the FreeBSD 
(2.1.5-RELEASE) machine.  (yes, I have the gateway option compiled in)

Here's what I can do:

I can get TO the 205 net FROM the 204 net without any problems.

(traceroute from 206.31.204.1 to 206.31.205.2)
 1  hillsnet.enetis.net (206.31.204.14)  1 ms  2 ms  1 ms
 2  206.31.205.2 (206.31.205.2)  2 ms (ttl=249!)  3 ms (ttl=249!)  2 ms (ttl=249!)

And I can get TO the 204 net FROM the 205 net without any problems. 
On the gateway machine, I have the deffault route pointing to my border 
router and all machines on the 205 net have 206.31.205.1 as the default 
route.  I have a static route from my upstream pointing the two nets (204 
and 205) to my router.  I have a static route in my Cisco pointing the 205 
net back to the 206.31.204.14 interface on the gateway machine.  Between 
the two nets (204 and 205), everything seems to work without any problems.

Here's the problem:

>From my 205 net, I CAN'T get to the outside world, and the outside world 
CAN'T get to my 205 net.  I have an account with Netcom, and when I 
traceroute FROM netcom TO my 205 net, it stops at the 206.31.204.14 
interface in the gateway machine.  When I traceroute FROM my 205 net TO 
the outside world it stops at my router.

Here's the question:

Everything looks properly configured from my side.  Am I having a problem 
with my router configuration, or is the problem with my FreeBSD gateway 
configuration???  I have double and triple checked my routing tables on 
my router and my gateway machine, and everything LOOKS like it should 
work!!!!  There has to be something that I am overlooking, that should be 
very simple to figure out, but I am goin nuts tring to fing it!!!

Any insight on my problem would be appreciated!!

TIA,

Justin England
