I've set firewall_type to "open" to avoid any kind of restrictions but when I do a traceroute from one of my workstations who's gateway is the freebsd box I get all * * *. I have disabled natd since I won't be needing translation coz all the IP's I'm using are live. I've checked the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file and copied some of(what I think are important) to the /etc/rc.conf file but still the Freebsd box won't act as a gateway. What did I miss??? Thanks for your support. -------------------------->jOEl On Mon, 3 Jul 2000, Christoph Sold wrote: > > > Joel Eusebio wrote: > > > > If you have the option "gateway_enable="YES" in your rc.conf will this > > technically allow all traffic to pass by my freebsd box??? whatever the > > protocol that is being used unless specified in my /etc/rc.firewall??? > > Thanks a lot. > > Depends on how your firewall is configured.
