Hello ALL, I just installed FreeBSD-2.1.6 on a Pentium-75/64MB-RAM/1GB-DISK PC with a 3c509 10Mbps Ethernet and a 3c905 100Mbps Ethernet adapter. The install was on a "virgin" (SCSI low level format) disk. Both Ethernet segments are isolated from everything else, and the FreeBSD box was to be the router between them. In /etc/sysconfig gateway="YES". ppp7:/etc#> netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 1 lo0 205.179.54 link#2 UC 0 0 205.179.54.20 0:80:29:63:30:82 UHLW 0 153 ep0 1057 205.179.54.27 0:20:af:16:8a:ea UHLW 0 1 lo0 205.179.55 link#1 UC 0 0 205.179.55.60 0:60:97:77:d5:47 UHLW 2 5467 vx0 1144 205.179.55.253 0:60:97:77:fe:f2 UHLW 1 11 lo0 205.179.54.0 is the 10Mbps segment (ep0), and has 2 machines on it (.20, .27) 205.179.55.0 is the 100Mbps segment (vx0), and has 2 machines (.60, .253) The FreeBSD machine has 205.179.54.27 and 205.179.55.253 addresses. The 205.179.54.20 machine can ping successfully 205.179.54.27 AND 205.179.55.253, BUT, CAN NOT ping 205.179.55.60. The 205.179.55.60 machine can ping 205.179.55.253 AND 205.179.54.27, BUT NOT 205.179.54.20. On a boot-up, FreeBSD reports that it is setting the machine as a gateway, and starting routed (I've tried ALL the friggin -X switches...). Also, I verified IP forwarding via: ppp7:/usr/home/master/notes#> sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding net.inet.ip.forwarding = 1 ppp7:/usr/home/master/notes#> I have gone through "http://www.freebsd.org//search.html" (both TOP and BOTTOM sections with number of results set to 999!) with NO ANSWERS (which work). Is it REQUIRED to gen a new kernel to get routing to work? CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - William O.
