Tony, what problem are you attempting to solve with
FreeBSD as the firewall?

What services are you making available to the
LAN computers?

With answers to these questions, we may be able
to direct you to solutions.

Do you want users to have direct access to the=20
Internet through the firewall?

Do you want to monitor and log user activity?

Hello,
A newbie question re PPP and NAT. I am attempting to set up a FreeBSD =
server
as a firewall router. My first step is to get internal Win clients =
accessing
the internet via PPP on the server before configuring routing rules.

I seem to have both PPP and PPPd working from the server (able to ping
external servers
happily) but cannot get clients on the LAN to go through the server. I =
have
tried
using the -alias option for user PPP and natd with PPPd. The routing =
tables
under netstat -rn look ok as does the interface config info under
ifconfig -a. The Win 98 box has the gateway IP address pointing to the
server IP. Win clients use DHCP and WINS running on and NT 4 server.

The rc.conf file includes:
defaultrouter =3D NO
gateway_enable=3DYES

The /etc/ppp/options file has:
defaultroute
noipdefault
ipc-accept-remote
ipc-accept-local

The ppp.conf file has dummy IPs enabled with
set ifaddr 127.1.1./0 127.2.2.2/0 255.255.255.0
add 0 0 127.2.2.2
alias enable yes
enable dns

and the ppp.linkup has:
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR
MYADDR:
add  0 0 HISADDR

Am I missing any settings with either PPP/PPPd approaches? Any suggestions
appreciated.
Please reply by mail.
Thanks
Tony
