In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Thanks for responding so quickly.. here is a copy of my rc.conf file: gateway_enable="YES" network_interfaces="rl0 rl1 lo0" ifconfig_rl0="inet 216.59.70.70 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_rl0_alias0="inet 216.59.70.71 netmask 255.255.255.255" ifconfig_rl1="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="216.59.70.1" i am using ipnat, but currently thse are the only rules: map rl0 192.168.1.0/24 -> 216.59.70.70/32 portmap tcp/udp 10000:65000 map rl0 192.168.1.0/24 -> 216.59.70.70/32 I am tempted to do a windoze reboot and pray that maybe it works then.. I have been using the same setup for quite some time now and have had 0 problems.. Actually, let me take that back.. I was using IPFW/NATD before.. I was told IPFilter was superior.. Is this the problem?? Because I have that map up there? Do I need to explicitly allow the other address in? If so, how?? I know the card is responding because like I said, from the box itself I can ping the alias address.. Loren Koss http://www.checkthegrid.com Before you go to the movies...Check The Grid!
