Have you looked at the ouput of ifconfig to be sure that the correct settings are being configured? Do you also have GATEWAY_ENABLE="YES" in your rc.conf? If not, then no traffic will pass between the internal and external NICs. Have you compiled in the appropriate firewall modules/setting into your kernel? You didm't specify whether you are running ipfw/natd or ipfilter/ipnat. > I know I'm missing something. Anyone got any ideas?

Have you read through /etc/defaults/rc.conf to see what all the options and arguments are? Have you read the FreeBSD Handbook located online and on your system? Have you searched the mailing list archives to see if this problem has come up before (it has) and what the solution was?
