Hi I've had a client running a shared internet connection using FreeBSD and a dialup connection but seem to have hit a little snag with moving them across to an ADSL connection. I've followed the instructions from www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd about setting up dual honed host. Baiscally the problem is that I need to allow a couple of the workstations to access an external ISP's mail server for retrieving e-mail (I know using fetchamil to the FreeBSD system would be better but certain circumstances rule this out). I can get name resolution so it's not a dns problem but more a routing problem and the workstations can get out using Squid. The FreeBSD system is fitted with 2 Realtek 8139 based cards which are working properly. The modem is an Alcatel Ethernet DSL modem and the ISP does not require the use of an PPPoE software. The client is supplied with a fixed IP address by the ISP with the DSL modem being preset to *.*.230.205 and the client's starting address as *.*.203.206 both netmask 255.255.255.252. Internally the client is using 10.0.0.* addresses. I don't have the rc.conf file with me but the software is set to be a gateway and I have created the natd.conf file.
