I am trying to use the "simple" firewall configuration. when I ping 24.93.35.0 or 24.93.35.64 I get "Time to live exceeded" errors and 100 % packet loss. I also cannot ping internally (I have a Win98 machine along with my FBSD box). The firewall/gateway/dns machine can ping itself fine with its unregistered 149.7.13.1 and its host name. I think the problem is with my ifconfig in rc.conf...here's what I have: ifconfig_ed0="inet 149.7.13.0 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_pn0="inet 149.7.13.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_pn1="inet 149.7.13.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" If there's anything else I should include, please e-mail me back and let me know.
