I have a friend who can not get his FreeBSD 5.2 server to act as a gateway, from the internal network we can ping the external network card, but no further. From the server we can ping the entire world. I had him bring it over and set up my server (FreeBSD 4.8R as the gateway) so I now have: <ISP>----<My Server>-------<his Server>-------<laptop> >From the laptop I can ping as far as the external nic on his server. >From his server I can ping the world. I have googled, looked at the mailing list, but can not find the problem :o( I have re installed the server, incase he goofed up, same problem, I have swapped the external network card, same problem. Netstat -rn shows the default gateway (as my server) In rc.conf it has gateway_enable="YES" I am out of ideas Regards, Kat. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
