Just upgraded to 4.1.1 on my gateway machine along with an entire new 18 gig SCSI disk. I put my old drive into another computer to refrence the setup. My problem seems to be along the lines of a reverse DNS problem, I can ping the gateway from another FreeBSD machine, and a Windows machine, can telnet into them, although the initial connection is really slow. Netscape on both the other machines times out before it can load a page. Here is my rc.conf # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf # please make all changes to this file. # Enable network daemons for user convenience. # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # #sendmail_enable="YES" sshd_enable="YES" #inetd_enable="YES" # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # ifconfig_fxp0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_fxp1="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" gateway_enable="YES" defaultrouter="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" hostname="heorot.1nova.com" # Added Nov 26, 2000 RGH nat_enable="YES" #Enabled Address Trans natd_interface="fxp0" #NIC to use natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.conf" #Additional flags for NATD named_enable="YES" named_program="/usr/sbin/named" named_flag="-u bind -g bind" #firewall_enable="YES" #firewall_type="OPEN" I don't think I really need named at this point, though I do want to run a local nameserver. This machine can also connect to the outside world just fine. Thanks in advance for any help!
