My internet connection is a satalite connection, which connects the the FreeBSD machine via Ethernet; the internet connection requires no configuration of any kind. The FreeBSD machine is a P1 - 166MHz MMX w/ 16MB Simm, 2 DLink 10BaseT Ethernet cards recognized as ed1 (internet) and ed2 (intranet, connected to hub), and a generic 4MB video card. The FreeBSD machine, is able to ping all machines on the LAN, and is able to access the internet just fine; inversely, all machines on the lan are able to ping the FreeBSD machine. IP's on the lan are 192.168.x . NATD is enabled and loads with BSD, When attempting to ping out the to internet, using the BSD machine as a gateway, from another machine on the network, packets are transmitted to the internet each time a ping is sent however no packets are ever recieved from the internet. All pings time out except if they are initiated from the FreeBSD box. What do you suggest? What should I check? On a side note, I think the packets are being aliased incorrectly, however I am not sure how to check this or how to correct this if this is the problem.
