More appropriate description would be "All machines except 192.168.0.2 have
one NIC. 192.168.0.2 has two NICs, where one NIC is connected to hub and the
other to DSL modem." I am sorry if this caused confusion.

Actually all my computers are FreeBSD. The gateway with two NICs has one NIC
connected to the hub. Me writing "0.2" was simple laziness and meant
192.168.0.2. I was not trying to indicate an ip-range or anything similar.

192.168.0.2 is running natd/ipfw. The only thing forwarded aimed
specifically at one machine is pop and smtp which both redirect to my
mailserver. Otherwise the following rule is all I have; (apart from
firewalling on external NIC and there are no rules for the internal network)

00100 divert 8668 ip from any to any via xl0

These rules work perfectly for all other fbsd-boxes on my LAN.

I hope this makes things a little more clear. I can also add that I, in all
frustration, did a complete reinstall. I repartioned/sliced the disk and
then installed again from cd-rom. (The installer wouldn't allow ftp, since
it couldn't find any servers responding... ;) ). This did, naturally, not
help at all.

regards
