Let's use some real number to make it clear. Internal network, 192.168.1.0/24 External network, 206.16.184.0/24 All changes (other than rc.firewall) go in /etc/rc.conf You don't need the firewall stuff to get the network up so you may want to set firewall_enable="NO" at first. Change NIC types to suite and these are the lines required to setup a gateway machine. network_interfaces="fxp0 fxp1 lo0" ifconfig_fxp0="inet 206.16.184.7 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_fxp1="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="206.16.184.1" gateway_enable="NO" That's it. Reboot and you'll have a working gateway. Hosts on the internal network should use 192.168.1.1 for their default gateway.
