Hello,


I'm trying to set up my office network in the following way.  I have five
PCs on an internal LAN, and an Indy (which hosts our web server) and a PC
running FreeBSD 2.1.6 (Walnut Creek CD-ROM) on an external network.  I'm
trying to use the FreeBSD-running PC as a dual-homed router / gateway for
the LAN to reach the Internet, and for the Internet to reach our web
server. 

I've engorged myself on FAQs and other documentation, but I just can't get
the network to work.  I have set up /etc/hosts to reflect my internal LAN,
I have updated my routing table to include my Internet gateway, I have
enabled the "gateway" option in /etc/sysconfig, and I am definitely
running routed.  I am inexperienced with addressing subnets, so I assume
that I may have omitted some vital configuration details along those
lines.  But I have ifconfiged my two ethernet cards (3Com 507s) with their
proper ip addresses. 

Here's a copy of my crippled routing table, which doesn't even seem to
reflect my second ethernet card: 

Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 208.28.204.1 UGSc
0 0 ep0 10/24 link#3 UC 0 0 localhost localhost UH 0 320 lo0 208.28.204
link#2 UC 0 0 208.28.204.1 link#2 UHLW 1 3

HELP!  Thank you very much for your reply.
