HI Folks, The service ppl came and installed the cable modem with Static IP. I am trying to make a Freebsd 2.2.5 server to act as an Getway for my 4 other internal Lan computers. This is what I have done so far: 1) Installed a network card in the Freebsd machine. 2) Configured the rc.conf file for ifconfig with the static IP address given to me by cable modem company. 3) also Configured an alias of the same NIC with virtual IP address to see the Local LAN. 4) Set the Defaultrouter="cable_modem_ip_address" 5) Set the Getway_enable+"YES" 6) modified the hosts, resolve.conf and hosts.equiv. 7) Connected a RJ45 UTP cable from the HUB "out_to_hub" port to the cable modem RJ45 port. 8) Connected one of the RJ45 from the HUB to the NIC of the FreeBSD RJ45. 9) Reebooted the system. I am still not being able to go outside from the FreeBSD. Please help me where am I doing wrong. Do you think I need IPFW/NATD installed? Please help! Thanks in Advanced.
