Hello, I just setup a freebsd box with the 5.1 release to be a = gateway/firewall. The installation was smooth and to setup the gateway/firewall with nat a = lot of sources are available on Internet. Here is my problem, I can't connect to Internet from the Freebsd box. I have DSL and my ISP is AT&T, I have a static IP wich means I don't = need to run PPP to connect. FreeBSD Internet NIC is : 12.103.20.x When I type ifconfig my NIC looks fine, up and running : rl0 : 12.103.20.x For information the freebsd box contains 2 NIC's one for Internet the = other for the LAN (192.168.1.1) If I ping myself no problem everything's fine, but I can't ping a web = address. I don't know if it is possible under unix but I use to "ping = www.yahoo.com" for example to know if it's well connected. But the best = proof is when I try to install samba my freebsd gives a time out = reaching the samba server on the web.... I have setup a firewall_type=3D"OPEN" because i'm still testing but I = also setup natd and gateway variables in the rc.conf file to what is = needed up to majority of websites about firewall and gateways with = Freebsd. I also rebuilt the kernel up to those websites wich was fine, and I = created a natd.conf file. One more thing I think I didn't use the Domain variable when I set up = the NIC from sysinstall.... don't know if it's important! Well I don't understand why it doesn't work.... The tech guy from at&t = hotline told me it's easy as setup a LAN.... "yes you're right my LAN = works fine but not Internet!" :S Please somebody help me !!!! razor.
