i have FreeBSD 2.1.0 running with IP forwarding set as gateway="YES" I have two interfaces:- ed0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 144.178.217.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 144.178.217.255 ether 08:00:00:03:62:50 ep0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500 inet 144.178.209.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 144.178.209.255 ether 00:a0:24:0e:68:35 Backbone net is 144.178.209.0 and workgroup subnet is 144.178.217.0 The ip forwarding is allowing routing from interface ed0 to ep0 - but not from ep0 to ed0. IE:- my subnet can get out but the backbone can't get in. from startup:- configuring host as a gateway. net.inet.ip.forwarding: 0 -> 1 I guess that i require something like:- net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1 -> 0 there is very little documentation for sysctl in man 3 and man 8 for ip.forwarding. There is also little information in the FAQ. I would like some help if possible to get IP forwarding working. Thanx in advance. Tony -- Little Tony........
