I am running FreeBSD 4.0 on a machine connected to the net with a cable modem. My isp had given me a static ip address, and my internet access worked fine. I recently purchased a 3Com OfficeConnect Firewall. To get this to work with my cable modem, I had to configure the firewall to use NAT and assign the NAT public address to be the same as the ip address my isp assigned to me. I have FreeBSD and Windows 98 installed on the same machine. Windows 98 has no problem with internet access, but I cannot make a connection on the internet with FreeBSD at all. If I try to ping an ip address on the internet, I receive "ping:sendto: no route to host." I am able to ping my isp's gateway successfully though. I can only attempt to use ip addresses, because DNS is not working at all. The only setup for the firewall I had to make was to change the gateway on my PC to the firewall's ip address. The firewall has my isp's gateway stored in its configuration. This works under Windows but not FreeBSD. I would appreciate any suggestions as to what I could try to get this to work. 3Com states that this firewall device is OS independent and works with Unix...
