Running FreeBSD server behind a firewall with nat
Hi, I'm really new to FreeBSD and UNIX, and I have to configure it to host a webserver. After a week I've managed to install Apache/mySQL/PhP and get everything running as I want it on my local network. Now I need to put it on the Internet, so that the developers can take control over it (ssh, ftp). The problem is that at the moment when I activate one-to-one nat on my hardware firewall for this machine, the services stop working and behave strangely (for example, if I connect to the box using ssh, it prompts for the login and nothing else happens, ftp doesn't work either). If I try to reboot, sendmail doesn't start at all (it just hangs, so I have to hit ^C to stop the script). I haven't found any information about configuring this correctly on the Internet, so I hope I can find an answer here. Thanks! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It should continue in a few minutes if you wait that long. What hardware firewall are you using? Is it possible to attach your server to the Internet directly, without using a firewall in the middle? -- Dmitry We live less by imagination than despite it - Rockwell Kent, N by E ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
