I am setting up a router to share one Wi-Fi link between a few computers that only support CAT-5. Like a wireless access point except wired and wireless sides are reversed. My question is about the ipfw packet filter. >From the handbook section on NAT, 31.9.3, I can achieve what I need with boot loader options. Section 31.9.4 describes alternatives for building a custom kernel. In contrast, the chapter on ipfw states several times that NAT requires a custom kernel - 30.6.1, 30.6.2, 30.6.5.7. I want to use freebsd-update and building a custom kernel eliminates that option. Which is correct? Do I need to build a custom kernel to use NAT? -- Gary Dunn, Honolulu osp@aloha.com http://openslate.net/ http://e9erust.blogspot.com/ Sent from a Newton 2100 via Mail Vhelp
