With that nameserver setup, you DO need to be running some form of DNS server on big. On my home network, I use my provider's DNS as the nameserver on all my machines. (actually, I use two of theirs, and a third, becuase they are notorious for DNS problems...but that;s another issue entirely). One way to check for this is to ping an outside address using just the IP. (use nslookup on big if you have to). Also, you can check if NAT/firewalling is working correctly, or blocking your packets, but pinging each interface of big from small. If you can ping the rl1 interface, but not the rl0 or tun0 interface, either gateway isn't working, NAT isn't working (although pinging the outside interface should be possible even without NAT) or your firewall rules on big are blocking the packets. mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
