[note: please cc me in any replies as I am not currently subscribed to freebsd-questions. Thank you.] I'm using a FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE box as a gateway for my household network (3 machines total). I'm using natd + ipfw + DHCP. It works mostly as it should (i.e. the other two boxes are able to connect to the internet as expected), but there are some inconsistencies. For example, if I go to Yahoo! and look up a map, I get a "The connection was refused while attempting to contact rd.yahoo.com" message when I try to zoom in. This does not happen from the FreeBSD box itself (everything works perfectly normally on this box). Also, those wonderful ads embedded in many web pages do not come up due to similar "connection refused" messages. This leads me to believe that something is not translating but I'm not sure what it could be. I tried disabling the firewall completely and that brought no change to this odd behavior. I tried bypassing DHCP by setting everything statically, but the behavior was still the same. At my last apartment, I was running FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE as the firewall OS and everything worked just fine. Has something changed in 4.7 that might cause this behavior? Or, could this just be an oddity when dealing with AT&T Broadband (I had Sprint at the other place). I'm not sure what information might be required to try and debug/diagnose this so more info is available upon request. Any and all ideas will be greatly appreciated!
