John,
I'm not trying to be rude and tell you to get lost and RTFM, but the
man page for natd says it all (if all you want is a gateway to the
internet for multiple machines. Just keep in mind that you're setting
natd to work on your OUTSIDE interface, not the LAN. Add a few lines
to /etc/rc.conf, add a few lines to /etc/rc.firewall. Bada-Bing!
Welcome to the club.

Help!!!!
I'm trying to set up a home network using a BSD box as a server and a
Windows box as a client.
Information on the web involving nat etc. is so contradictory and
outdated I am getting nowhere.
I have connectivity between the boxes using Telnet, but I cannot get
out to the internet with the client.
Using FreeBSD 4.1.1
BSD box: ed0 is 24.aa.bb.cc 255.255.252.0 (NIC to the net using
DHCP)
ed1 is 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 (internal
network NIC)
Windows Box is 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0
Is the any step by step SIMPLE instructions on where and how to
configure the firewall, and NAT and such?
I'm not a complete freaking idiot, but I'm too new at this to cipher
through what is outdated and what is accurate, and what is horsesh*t
inacurately written by other amateurs.
thanx
J.R.
