Hello, I'm a newbie trying to set up my 4.1.1-RELEASE box to act as a gateway/router (I think this is also called a dual homed host) for my network. So far I've gone through Greg's chapter on configuring the network, the handbook, and http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/ but I'm missing something. I have a machine with ed0 configured with DHCP and successfully communicating with RoadRunner via cable modem. The same machine also has ed1 configured with static IP and successfully communicating with my internal network. BTW, I'm not trying to set up a firewall yet as I'm not confident I can successfully configure both at the same time. I'm trying to understand the routing part then move on to ipfw. I've done a sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding to verify that packet forwarding is on. I'm running named with the forwarders set to RoadRunners DNS servers. My resolv.conf also has the same DNS ips in it. From my windows machine (also successfully connected to internal network) when I type C:\>ping freebsd.org Pinging freebsd.org [216.136.204.18] with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. Ping statistics for 216.136.204.18: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms So I'm getting some connectivity because the IP address is being returned, but it looks like my packets aren't forwarding. What am I missing? Regards, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
