Hi, I've looked for information in the Handbook, but can't seem to find what I need to know in order to complete the configuration of a freebsd firewall. I've installed 2 ethernet cards in my computer, and by someone's suggestion I recompiled my kernel and got freebsd to recognize it. I also added IP_FIREWALL and IP_DIVERT while I was compiling the kernel for this project. I've tried adding rules using ipf and ipfw, and I've played with natd for about a week now, but still haven't figured out how to set it up. The boxes on the private network can ping both ed0 and ed1 in the freebsd box, but they cannot contact anything on the outside network. Some additional details: the private network is on the 10.0.0.x subnet, and I'm running a 3.2-RELEASE kernel according to uname. I've edited rc.conf; these lines refer to my firewall configuration: firewall_enable="YES" # Set to YES to enable firewall functionality firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall" # Which script to run to set up the firewall firewall_type="open" # Firewall type (see /etc/rc.firewall) firewall_quiet="NO" # Set to YES to suppress rule display All I want for now is a forwarding firewall; I'll worry about tightening security later. What am I forgetting to set up, and how do I go about it? Thanks for the help! DanL Disclaimer: Not only do I speak for myself; I am myself.
