Hello, I have a t1 with 16 ip's, which I need to share around this office. Some of those real/routable IP's I want to assign internally in the office, while at the same time them to be behind my FreeBSD firewall/dummynet pc.
t1Router 209.150.x.145 | | 209.150.x.146 255.255.255.240 FreeBSD bridge/ipfw/dummynet/natd [two nics] 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 | | Server-209.150.214.147, Server 209.150.x.148 Workstation 192.168.0.x WorkStation 192.168.0.x So far my bridge and natd work fine, except those internal machines with 209.150 adress space can't see each other [they won't ping any other 209.150.x.x], but I can ping them from the outside and the can ping outside. The t1 router is directly connected into the FreeBSD machine. The handbook says I need to have DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT in my kernel for ipfw, right now I just have firewall_type="open", and net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw: 0, that works but when I set that thing to 1 traffic dies randomly....so is that kernel option necessary? I think this setup is whacked and I'm just getting lucky that someone can actually see those machines from the outside, I just need advice on how this should be done / Is this a good way to do it? or is it possible to do it this way? Basically I want to have some machines with public IP inside my network behind a firewall/dummynet [subnetting too much headache for a network of 16 ip's], and other machines with private address space inside behind my firewall/dummynet thru natd.
