OK, you have configured your external interface with a static ip, and
from the above line it appears to be wrong. The above ip is? your
assigned ip? or default router? or?
Most ISP assign ip dynamically. Try running this command:
# dhclient rl0
(rl0 is your external interface right?).
This should configure your external interface according to the ISP. If
things works, then edit your rc.conf, set
ifconfig_rl0="DHCP"
and remove the "defaultrouter" line. You can tweak dhclient by editing
/etc/dhclient.conf
Your ISP should provide you with the following information if you are
assigned a static ip:
your ip and netmask
default router ip (sometimes default gateway)
list of dns servers
ignoring the dns-servers, it would draw a better picture of your network
if you recreate your diagram attaching the assigned ip to each interface:
INTERNET
|
|
ISP
|default router: ip xx.xx.xx.xx
|
|
ADSLmodem
|
|
|rl0: ip xx.xx.xx.xx (DHCP?)
FBSD
|sis0: ip 192.168.0.xx (static)
|
MYNETWORK
You may experience problems using your box as a router if the external
ip is assigned dynamically.
Cheers, Erik
