Take a look at my rc.conf for my server which you see as www.unixhideout.com its behind a hardware firewall, router. ifconfig_xl0="inet 192.168.1.20 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" hostname="labs" inetd_enable="YES" inetd_flags="-l -R 1024" syslogd_flags="-ss -m 0" kern_securelevel_enable="YES" kern_securelevel="3" ntpdate_enable="YES" ntpdate_flags="ntp.nasa.gov" sendmail_enable="YES" linux_enable="YES" named_enable="YES" named_flags="-u bind -g bind -t /etc/namedb/sandbox" I left the rest in as possibly you could learn from the other settings but what we are focusing on is this, " ifconfig_xl0="inet 192.168.1.20 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" hostname="labs" " All thats doing is saying, use the DHCP server,however i want a static IP one that wont change. If you do not know what ip your server is how will you get to it, nevermind the internet! hehe. My router is 192.168.1.1, Try and open your web browser to http://192.168.1.1 if you get your router, then that is what you want for defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" in rc.conf, however some routers assign the internal lan address differently. Just make changes as needed. My network consists of 6 machines. Let me try and give you an idea.. 192.168.1.1 .20 .30 .40 .50 .60 .70 .80 (evil internet)==|<router>|-server-client-client-client-client-client-client Not a bad little diagram for someon who flunked art eh? The router, accessible only from my lan has an ip of 192.168.1.1, then the server is 192.168.1.20, the clients are 192.168.1.30, 192.168.1.40, etc.. I simply port forward port 80 (http) using the option in my router, to "192.168.1.20" Keep in mind you are using NATD, and i have no experience with it. Im not sure how it differs. But im pretty sure its almost the same type of thing, my router uses NAT, stateful packet inspection and all that nasty junk we need now a days due to script kiddies. If im wrong by all means someone correct me. I would hate to waste your time and mine. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Stacey Roberts Sent: Sunday, July 07, 2002 2:24 PM To: sagacious@unixhideout.com Cc: FreeBSD-Questions Subject: RE: Help required for dynamic DNS home network, please Hey Thanks for the kind reply. I'm not sure I follow your instructions here, so please bear with me. Where exactly would I specify the static IP addr for the gateway? I already have in /etc/rc.conf the following: # grep sis0 /etc/rc.conf natd_interface="sis0" ifconfig_sis0="DHCP" # Or are you saying that I should run a DHCP server on the gateway? I've not set that up for this network., and what I have is statically assigned IP addrs for each of the client machines on each host, and defined in my hosts file. Thanks again for the assistance., you are the only one to take the time to respond so far., I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts on what I have said here.
