I'm running FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE. I've got 2 NICs -- one connected to my local network and one connected to my new Jones@home cable modem. I believe both of my NICs are working properly; I can re-arrange /etc/rc.conf settings and cables and ping my internal network thru each of them. I've recompiled the kernel with the IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT options (as explained in The Complete FreeBSD, which I have). There don't appear to be any problems with the ipfw and natd setups -- all startup messages look successful. From Jones@home, I've got a static IP, a subnet mask, a default gateway, 2 DNS servers, a compuer name and subdomain address. I've also got a Win95 machine that's hooked up to the cable modem and working just fine (i'm sending this thru it). The settings in the Win95 TCP/IP properties are the same as I'm using on the FreeBSD box. I believe I've got all the settings in rc.conf correct, but I can't ping anything other than my internal network. # a re-typed snippet from my /etc/rc.conf network_interfaces="ed0 ed1 lo0" ifconfig_ed0="inet 24.6.109.184 netmask 255.255.255.128" ifconfig_ed1="inet 192.168.120.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" hostname="cj812546-a.alex1.va.home.com" defaultrouter="24.6.109.129" gateway_enable="YES" firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="open" natd_enable="YES" natd_interface="ed0" I've also removed all the firewall stuff and one of the NICs (recompiling the kernel) and tried to connect with a more simple system -- same results: if I configure ed0 to be on my local network, I can ping other machines normally, if I configure ed0 to the cable modem settings (and swap cables) I can ping nothing. Before each test, I plug the proper machine in to the cable modem, turn the cable modem off and on, and reboot the FreeBSD machine. Am I missing something terribly obvious?? I'm new to FreeBSD; I work mostly with Linux and Solaris. Thanks for reading this far (those of you who have ;^) Michael A.
