You're right, I didn't explain thoroughly. The FreeBSD gateway can reach the internet. The cable modem and gateway addresses are assigned by the ISP. My rc.conf:

ifconfig_rl0=DHCP
ifconfig_de0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
gateway_enable="YES"

...

Thank you.

This setup appears a little confusing. Does your ISP give you a static or dynamic IP address to the internet? It would also help to see the interface configuration info in your rc.conf file.

generally speaking, your external interface should have the ip address assigned by your isp, not a private network address like you describe. You should also have a valid address to a dns server, rather than being referred to your dsl modem's private ip address.

#my rc.conf (cable modem, with ip dynamically assigned - I'm using 192.168.1.0 as my private network range)
gateway_enable="YES"
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
network_interfaces="fxp0 dc0 lo0"
hostname="vesta.bitheaven.net"
ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP"
ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"


If this doesn't help, send more info

Hello,

Running 4.9-stable. Here is a brief overview of the network I'm setting up.

***Internet***
|
DSL modem (192.168.1.1, netmask 255.255.255.252, assigned by ISP)
|
FreeBSD gateway external (192.168.1.2, netmask 255.255.255.252, assigned by ISP)
|
FreeBSD gateway internal (10.0.0.1, netmask 255.255.255.0)
|
LAN (clients, 10.0.0.x, netmask 255.255.255.0)



LAN clients can access boh gateway interfaces by hostname and IP. Clients are
setup to use 192.168.1.2 for DNS, and 192.168.1.2 uses 192.168.1.1 for DNS.
I cannot get any traffic to reach (let alone pass) the DSL modem from the clients.


I have tried this with the FreeBSD gateway, a Win2k gateway, and Linksys router.
Under any setup, the result is the same. My ISP's support desk has been
absolutely no help. Can anyone tell what the problem may be here? Thanks in
advance for any help.
