Yes you do need certain options to be enabled in the kernel. (IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT). No, the GENERIC kernel does not come with the necessary options enabled. You must compile your own kernel. You must also set a few items in /etc/rc.conf. See http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/ under "Setting up a dual-homed host". Don't worry about steps 6-9 until you're sure your NAT is working correctly. And also look at all the handbook and man pages that are referenced therein. -Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
