Having to setup a BSD box as a firewall on my lan and for some silly reason I can't get it to move data. My rc.conf has the correct Ip and subnet mask, so I know it's not those, and under regular circumstances it always worked via DHCP, and the internal lan card works beautiful and has the correctly specified Ip and subnet mask. Now here's the catch. My only thought as to why this is doing this is that the gateway is missing on the designation. If I have something like this in the rc.conf file, what else am I missing to get a connection via our dsl modem which is on a static IP? ifconf_rl0 = "inet xx.xx.xx.xx netmask 255.255.255.0" I know I'm missing something. Anyone got any ideas? IF I am missing something, what do I need in there and how do I enter it?
