I am attempting to run FreeBSD 2.1 as a gateway allowing my local LAN to
connect to the internet via a ppp connection with a local ISP. I am able
to establish the ppp connection and utilize services on the FreeBSD gateway,
however I am unable to access the services provided through the ISP on any
of the LAN clients. The LAN clients can utilize services provided directly
by the FreeBSD gateway (i.e. I have httpd running and am able to access the
local web pages, I am able to telnet to the machine, and am able to use lpd
to provide print services to the LAN). I have read the available online
documentation and have followed the directions to the best of my knowledge.
Any insight anyone can provide on what I am not doing, or am doing wrong
would be greatly appreciated.
My server/gateway is a FreeBSD 2.1.
The hosts file contains the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost
198.132.98.3 EDSChina EDSChina.com
198.132.98.4 PrintServer PrintServer.EDSChina.com
198.132.98.10 vds
202.96.0.133 ns ns.bta.net.cn
202.96.0.104 comserv comserv.bta.net.cn
202.96.0.97 public public.bta.net.cn
The resolv.conf contains the following:
nameserver 202.96.0.133
With a ppp connection established the output from netstat -r follows:

I have ip forwarding enabled (server is acting as a gateway).
Named is not running.
My client system is running OS/2 Warp Connect.
Output from netstat -r follows:
destination router refcnt use flags snmp intrf
metric
default 198.132.98.3 0 138 U -1 lan0
198.132.98.0 198.132.98.10 3 5230 U -1 lan0
The hosts file contains the following:
198.132.98.10 vds
198.132.98.3 EDSChina.com
The resolv file contains the following lines:
domain EDSChina.com
nameserver 198.132.98.3
NOTE - the named daemon is not running on the FreeBSD server. I have attempted
different combinations with the resolv.conf file but the outcome has
remained the same.
When I execute traceroute from the OS/2 system using an IP address, it forwards
the address to the FreeBSD server, but does not seem to forward it beyond that
point (i.e. following two lines of echos from the FreeBSD server, the remaining
hops are all '*').
0 EDSChina.com (198.132.98.3) 0 ms 0 ms 0 ms
1 EDSChina.com (198.132.98.3) 0 ms 0 ms 0 ms
2 * * *
3 * * *
4 * * *
5 * * *
6 * * *
I have attempted to increase both the hop count (ttl) and the wait time during
traceroute, but still receive the same results.
Again, any insight would be greatly appreciated. I would be more than happy
to provide any additional information that might be helpful in the resolution
of this problem.
Thanks in advance for your time and any assistance you might provide.
