Sorry for cross-posting but I saw afterwards that I've send my message on the wrong mailing list.. ----------- Hi, I don't know if you guys know SME (www.e-smith.org). If not, it's a RedHat/Linux distro that does server and gateway (with firewall mail http .....) I'd like to the same with FreeBSD for my local network. I read those two howtos: http://www.schlacter.net:8500/public/FreeBSD-STABLE_and_IPFILTER.html http://www.muine.org/~hoang/freenat.html I'm a little bit confused now.. :/ I'd like/need (for the beginning) at least (I think) a firewall, adsl connection (pppoe) and NAT.. I read the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pppoe.html But it's telling : Add the following to your /etc/rc.conf file: ppp_enable="YES" ppp_mode="ddial" ppp_nat="YES" # if you want to enable nat for your local network, otherwise NO ppp_profile="name_of_service_provider" So why are the two other howtos treating (as I understand) ip masquerading with IPFilter. As you may see, I'm really confused with IPFilter NAT IP Masquerading .... Can someone take the time to explain or give the url of a page please.. I can't find any ?
