You need: gateway_enable="YES" Can you get to the net from the FreeBSD box? Can the internal network computer(s) ping the FreeBSD box? What operation are you trying from the internal network and what is the error? If you are not running your own DNS do you have the name servers from your ISP listed in /etc/resolv.conf? Are the computers in the internal network refering to the FreeBSD box for DNS or referring to your ISPs name servers?
