The FreeBSD box has three network interfaces, one modem for internet access, one modem for dialin access, and one ethernet card to the office LAN. The FreeBSD box runs NATD and IPFW to allow all machines, either dialing in, or on the LAN to access internet. First I would like the microsoft client machines on the LAN to be able to see a microsoft client machine dialed in to the FreeBSD box. By "see" I mean network neighborhood. Second I would like to run isc's implementation of dhcpd on the FreeBSD box, for both clients on the LAN and a client dialed in to the FreeBSD box. The problem I am running in to, is that I have no idea where to start getting clients on the LAN to be able to see a client dialed in to the FreeBSD box (network neighborhood wise). I have tried to track down with tcpdump, which ports to "not" to disable with ipfw, but even when I leave the firewall open between the dialin modem, and ethernet interfaces it doesn't work. Next I thought that I may not have set the network up correctly, IP and netmask wise. At this point I have the dialin modem interface set as 192.168.41.1, and the ethernet interface set as 192.68.40.1, both with the netmasks set at 255.255.255.0. This is probably where I think my problem lies, but as I have no experience with this previously I don't really know what local IP's and netmasks I should choose. I continue to sit in the school book store and read ORA's TCP/IP book, but I'm a slow learner. What I'm looking for is someone that would be able to explain to me what I might be doing incorrectly and point me in the right direction. If I have not given enough information please let me know.
