Hello, I wanted to set-up a multipurpose server/gateway/router with an old pc, but ran into some trouble. I have an internet connection from a local ISP (it's not cable or adsl it's ethernet) and a couple of home computers. The ISP has a litle program that needs to run continously in the background (it connects to one of my ISP's servers on port 2400) If that program does not run, i cannot go through the ISP's gateway. In the past i had another box with smoothwall linux, but the motherboard crashed. Anyway, on that box i was able to do the trick. I have installed FreeBSD. Both network cards are working (sis0 and pcn0). I runt the ISP's software and i have internet access. Good. But i want to shre this internet connection with my home LAN. I read somewhere that i need to recompile the kernel and enable packet filtering and firewall (the tutorial i used is located here http://www.lugbe.ch/lostfound/contrib/freebsd_router/). However, when i reboot with the new kernel I cannot connect to any network, neither the ISP's nor my home LAN. I want to use this box as a gateway/router/firewall for my home lan, and also run some services like a web server for my projects, etc. Thanks a lot for your help, and keep up the good work Doru Moisa
