FreeBSD 5.1 - WinXP Networking Problem UPDATE #2
Hi Chuck, Thanks for the suggestions. First off - there was actually a typo in the line: firewall_script=/etc/rc/firewall I changed it to: firewall_script=/etc/rc.firewall However, it made no difference to the WinXP box ability to connect. Next I tried commenting out that line altogether but it still did not work(!) It would not go online. I then checked out rc.firewall asper you suggestion and looked under OPEN ... This is what I found::: # If you just configured ipfw in the kernel as a tool to solve network # problems or you just want to disallow some particular kinds of traffic # then you will want to change the default policy to open. You can also # do this as your only action by setting the firewall_type to ``open''. # #${fwcmd} add 65000 pass all from any to any # Prototype setups. # case ${firewall_type} in [Oo][Pp][Ee][Nn]) setup_loopback ${fwcmd} add 65000 pass all from any to any ;; [...] Do you see a problem in this set-up? I am considering setting it up in SIMPLE mode but I want to be able to run the machine in OPEN mode before I get too fancy with security and firewalls ... you know? Thanks again for you help ... please advise. freebsder wrote: This is what I get: # ipfw -a list 00100 49820 12066079 allow ip from any to any 00100 00 allow tcp from any to any 65535 2 96 deny ip from any to any The Second and Third lines don't seem right.. What do I need to do correct the problem here. The line here: firewall_script=/etc/rc/firewall ...tells IPFW to use a config file that doesn't contain enough useful rules. Comment out that line, and examine /etc/rc.firewall instead, and reboot. Then take a look at the rules being loaded by the OPEN firewall type, which should include a divert rule... -- -Chuck __ Do you Yahoo!?

[I have Not made all the changes that you've kindly suggested but enough that I am able to ping back and forth ... if I have ignored your suggestion and you still see a gapping error, please feel free to reinterate, I won't hold it again you!] OK, the changes ... -I got rid of the ifconfig_vr0 -I set ifconfig_ed0 to 192.168.0.1 (where as _vr0 was initially set as the gateway) - I tried pinging from Freebsd to 192.168.0.4 the WinXP #2 machine. and got through! - I tried pinging from the WindXP #2 to itself at 192.168.0.4 andit got through. - I tried pinging from the WindXP #2 to ed0 at 192.168.0.1 andit got through! BUT I still cannot get the WIN XP webbrowser to read the internet. What is wrong? I think that the natd_flags=redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.3:80 80 should be: natd_flags=redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.1:80 80 I will try changing this and see what happends I have include the revised RC.CONF below: [...] font8x14=NO font8x16=swiss-8x16 font8x8=swiss-8x8 inetd_enable=YES linux_enable=YES moused_enable=YES moused_port=/dev/psm0 moused_type=auto nfs_client_enable=YES #nfs_server_enable=YES rpcbind_enable=YES saver=rain scrnmap=NO usbd_enable=YES ifconfig_vr0=DHCP ##initialise NIC network_interfaces=vr0 ed0 lo0 tun0 ifconfig tun0 ifconfig vr0= media 10baseT/UTP up ifconfig_ed0=inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 #ifconfig_vr0=inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 hostname=myserver ##User ppp configuration ppp_enable=YES ppp_mode=ddial ppp_nat=NO ppp_profile=bellnet #ppp_user=root ## Firewall gateway_enable=YES firewall_enable=YES firewall_type=OPEN #firewall_quiet=NO firewall_script=/etc/rc/firewall natd_enable=YES natd_interface=vr0 natd_flags=redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.3:80 80 rpc_statd_enable=YES tcp_extensions=YES ## Mail sendmail_enable=YES This is what my ifconfig looks like: ed0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.255.255 inet6 fe80::280:c8ff:fede:c937%ed0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:80:c8:de:c9:37 vr0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::20e:a6ff:fe9c:c81d%vr0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 255.255.255.255 ether 00:0e:a6:9c:c8:1d media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active lp0: flags=8810POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 tun0: flags=8051UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 1492 inet 6X.9X.11X.3X -- 6X.23X.25X.12X netmask 0x Opened by PID 222 Also, a small problem --- I have a webserver running on the Freebsd box but everytime I reboot, I get a new IP address(from above: 6X.9X.11X.3X). The fixed IP address always seems to be: 6X.23X.25X.12X. However, I have my domain name set to redirect towardsthe dynamic address so everytime I reboot, I have to tell the DNS server that holds my domain name my new IP address. Is there a way to configure it so that I don't have to continuously change the IP address on the DNS? Should I just get rid of the line: ifconfig_vr0=DHCP and set the DNS to 6X.23X.25X.12X? Would that do the trick? Or should I get rid of ifconfig_ed0=DHCP? Thanks again MY original Post I have a Freebsd 5.1 box connected to the internet. It works. But I am now trying to network two other Win XP machines as per the following network hierarchy: Setup ISP- DSL Modem - FreeBSD box : 1) vr0 192.168.0.1 [Gateway machine address] 2) ed0 192.168.0.3 [Internal Network address] connects to:- 4- port HUB - 1)WinXP machine #1 192.168.0.2 2)Freebsd Box 192.168.0.3 3)WinXP machine #2 192.168.0.4 Problem: I cannot communicate to the Internet from WinXP #2 (Have not tried to config WinXP #1 yet). Browser Config IE Brower Settings for WinXP #2 {ToolsInternet OptionsConnections) -I set the browser so that it never dials a connection because it is suppose to be networked right? - in the LAN Settings option, I set the Proxyserver option with the address of the gateway of 192.168.0.1 with Port 80 Dialouge From Freebsd Machine # ping 192.168.0.4 PING 192.168.0.4 (192.168.0.4): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Host is down ping: sendto: Host is down -at one point I was able to ping the freebsd machine from WinXP #2 but then for some reason, I made a change and cannot ping anymore...

RE: FreeBSD 5.1 - WinXP Networking Problem UPDATE
From: freebsder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Everyone ... thanks for your help thus far. I've made some changes below. [I have Not made all the changes that you've kindly suggested but enough that I am able to ping back and forth ... if I have ignored your suggestion and you still see a gapping error, please feel free to reinterate, I won't hold it again you!] ... I think that the natd_flags=redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.3:80 80 should be: natd_flags=redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.1:80 80 natd_flags=redirect_port tcp 192.168.1.1:80 80 ifconfig vr0= media 10baseT/UTP up ifconfig_ed0=inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 ifconfig_vr0=inet 192.168.0.1/24 media 10baseT/UTP up ifconfig_ed0=inet 192.168.1.1/24 You will then need to change the IP addresses of the two WinXP machines to use addresses starting with 192.168.1 (excluding .0, .1 and .255), a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and a gateway of 192.168.1.1. Thanks to Matthew Seaman for bringing to my attention that ifconfig now supports CIDR notation. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
