Yes the other machines on the same subnet can talk directly....I can ping,
telnet, ssh to the freebsd gateway and vice versa. What is the most
important thing that I should take into consideration for this freebsd box
to work as a gateway??? Is it the gateway_enable="YES", will this work
without any firewall rules installed??? Thanks again for your support.
