I have a firewall machine with two nics that seems to be having a problem - when accessing my web site on a public isp it redirects to my home web server where natd then redirects the incoming http request to my web server. This had been working just fine for most of a year, now it no longer works. I can connect to the web server from inside my home network and the web server does return the web pages, so apache does work just fine. I can ping both nics in the firewall and get a response from both, from the machine itself and from any machine in the network. So it appears both nics are working properly. I run ifconfig -a and both nics show their proper ip addresses etc, but - one nic shows status: active and the other does not show status anything. The nic with the inside address of 192.168.1.10 (xl0) shows status: active, the outside nic with address 208.194.173.26 (ep1) does not show status: active. Is this a problem? Could it have something to do with natd not redirecting the incoming http requests? All machines on my network are able to access the net just fine. I don't know what to check next. -- Chip Wiegand Alternative Operating Systems www.wiegand.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
