I have an DSL connection to my FreeBSD box, with ipfw, natd and a Windows box
behind it. The users on the Windows box are able to connect to outside world,
except when they try to use https from their browsers. In that case they get
"page unavailable". The local web server on the FreeBSD box gets requests for
the files that should be requested from the remote sites.

Is there something wrong with the firewall setup? Or is the Window people's
configuration problem? They are swearing that it is my fault.


I have rc.firewall as follows:

/sbin/ipfw -f flush
/sbin/ipfw add divert 8668 all from any to any via rl0
/sbin/ipfw add allow all from any to any

(rl0 is the card that connects to the DSL modem).

/etc/hosts is

127.0.0.1               localhost omsk acer
166.9.37.251             omsk omsk.mushinsky.net
192.168.2.100           omsk.mushinsky.net
192.168.2.2             tomsk tomsk.mushinsky.net

(omsk is the FreeBSD box and tomsk is the Windows box).
