Hi,

I have configured my FreeBSD 4.0 Pentium 233Mhz based PC as a firewall to 
the Internet using a DSL connection.

I use a public IP (207.208.254.234) gateway (207.208.254.1).

From this machine I can access the Internet. However the machines on my 
private network cannot.

My public interface is fxp0 (intel Ether Express Pro 10/100 B), and my 
private interface is xl0 (3Com 3c905B-TX Fast EtherLink XL) using 
192.168.1.2

Any hots on the private segment 192.168.1 can successfully ping the public 
interface fxp0.

The problem is that I cannot rich anything beyond fxp0, not even the IP 
address of the gateway on the ISP that is on the same segment as fxp0. For 
example a traceroute hug.freebsd.org fails.

I have configured all the necessary files for IPFW ant natd and rebuilt the 
kernel successfully.

I read in natd man pages that there is a -dynamic option to use, but I did 
not see it in the configuration walkthrough in the Handbook.
Where else should I look?8
Can someone please help?

Thanks,

Konan
