Setting up routes correctly for FBSD box to access WAN

2005-09-18 Thread Garrett Cooper

Hello,
I am currently trying to use a network bridge via my Mac for my  
FreeBSD machine and Windows machine to access the outside world  
because I have not purchased a wireless PCI card for my FreeBSD box  
and the only means to connect is via wireless.

So my network topology looks like this:

| FBSD | - | Mac | - | Outside world |

What I want to do is setup the routes correctly such that all  
packets are forwarded from the Mac to the FreeBSD machine, and vice  
versa. I got this working last night but I fubared my routing tables  
and had to restart my machine, such that I thought I failed.
So my question is, how do I properly set the value for gateway  
for the FBSD machine or use the route command to create a static  
route for all IP values not 192.168.1.0/20?

Thanks,
-Garrett

You need set the default router in /etc/rc.conf :

defaultrouter=NO  # Set to default gateway (or NO).

See rc.conf(5)
