I've got everything compiled (I think) and my kernel rebuilt and installed, but I'm having trouble getting it configured. I'm taking it on faith that something's actually different from before I installed it. Specifically, what I'm after is this. I've an ISP that gives me one fixed IP. My LAN at home has 3 systems on it. I'm using 192.168.100.* on my LAN. As I understand it, with IPfilter and NAT, I should be able to set up one FreeBSD box as a gateway (do I need to set Gateway=YES?) and my other machines should be able to just connect to anywhere on the net transparently. The gateway will automatically act like a proxy for me and it won't be like the fwtk where you have to negotiate the proxy servers. Of course, the affect will be the same as with the fwtk -- meaning the outside world will only see the IP address of the gateway. Is all of that correct? One problem I'm having is 'ipnat' complains "open: no such file or directory" now matter what I do. I'm using ip-filt3.1.1 and FreeBSD 2.1.6. -- -=(*)=- Kristyn Fayette -=(*)=- kristyn@gnu.ai.mit.edu
