I'm going to have two Intel EtherExpress PROs, and I have plenty of IPs. I tried just setting it up so that the FreeBSD box had Gateway enabled, but it wouldn't pass the packets to the DSL Router with one IP and one NIC. I don't really understand why. If my BSD box is X.X.X.2 and the DSL router is X.X.X.1 and the BSD box is set default route X.X.X.1 and the LAN computers are set to have their gateway X.X.X.2 (the BSD box), and gateway is enabled, why the heck won't BSD pass the packets like a gateway to the default route ? I shouldn't even need two NICs. what does sysctl -a | grep forward show ? i.e. do you have ip forwarding enabled. Also, a better diagram with real IP numbers (they can be mapped to RFC1918 space) would go a long way in helping to understand what the problem may be. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."
