I have thus far got the= NIC to come up and work as an access point. I can connect to this AP with = my laptop computer via wireless. I'm running dhcpd on the FreeBSD server so= my laptop is also assigned an IP address as well. =A0 My existing setup has a FreeBSD server running as a router/gateway for my e= ntire LAN. This router has two NICs one connected to the cable modem from m= y ISP and one connected to a switch on 10.0.0.0/24 Lan. =A0 The existing D-Link router has it's WAN port connected to this same switch = and it gets a 10.0.0.0/24 IP address from another FreeBSD server running dh= cpd. This D-Link router is running dhcpd and it assigns 192.168.0.0/24 IP a= ddresses to all wireless clients. When a wireless client boots up in my hou= se they connect to this D-Link router and all is well. =A0 This setup is working fine as all the workstations on 10.0.0.0/24 can acces= s the Internet and all wireless clients on 192.168.0.0/24 can access the In= ternet. =A0 Now my new FreeBSD-8.0-STABLE server seems to be almost ready to take over = for the D-Link router and my old FreeBSD server. I have two NIC's in this s= erver, an ethernet cable one (bge0) and the wireless NIC (ral0) or wlan0.= =20 =A0 I can ping outside addresses from this new server but of course it's using = the 10.0.0.0/24 segment which I knew would work. But even though the wirele= ss clients can connect to the wirless NIC and be assigned an IP address and= can ping the IP address of the server, both of them, =A0I cannot access th= e Internet from any of the wireless machines. I could use some advice on wh= at to do to correct this.=20 =A0=0A=0A=0A
