1) I want to connect to my wireless router (A) from one computer (B) and connect through it a wired network (C) to access the internet. Is this possible? I know you can do it with a wired network through nat but am not sure about the wireless in the middle.
2)I have setup the computer A as a router with a firewall and NAT. I can access to web from it through the wireless link but cannot ping out from C behind it.
The net hardware:
I have cable.
A - Linksys WGT54G
D- WG511T wireless PC card
Xircom 10Mbps PC card
C RealTek 8139
3Com 3c905-TXI have put the following options in the kernel and compiled
IPFIREWALL
IPDIVERT
IPSEC (I know this is for IPsec and not the firewall directly. I have not installed racoon and am not using IPsec. Included it here in case this is the problem.)
IPSEC_ESP
IPSEC_DEBUG
I modified the following configs from this site http://lugbe.ch/lostfound/contrib/freebsd_router/
rc.conf:
# use DHCP for external interface

# enable natd, the NAT daemon natd_enable="YES" # which is the interface to the internet that we hide behind? natd_interface="ath0" # flags for natd natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.conf"

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am very tired of pulling my hair out at 4 in the morning. It is also annoying to have to use M$ on my wife's laptop to access the internet. Please help bring FreeBSD back into my everyday life:-)
