Hello all, Below you will find my ifconfig output and my /etc/rc.conf file. I would like to setup a firewall/router that will route between my private LAN, my DMZ and the Internet. Currently I have the following: I installed FreeBSD 5.1 Installed 3 nics dc0 (LAN, 192.168.1.111), connected to a 24 port 3Com hub dc1 (DMZ, 216.138.226.22), connected to a 12 port IBM switch xl0 (INET, 216.138.224.10), connected to Alcatel dsl modem I have a /28 IP block (216.138.226.16/28) and my default gateway is 216.138.224.9. I turned on routed using /stand/sysinstall after the installation. I have been able to ping addresses from all 3 interfaces and I have been able to ping to dc0 and dc1 from computers on those networks. Currently I can not use 192.168.1.111 as my gateway on any computers on the private LAN to get to the Internet, I can ping it but that is as far as I can go. What I would like is someone to guide me in the right direction as to what I need to be doing here. Do I need natd? Do I need to make kernel config changes? Is gated a better option over routed? Any guidance any of kind you can provide would be greatly appreciated. The next step after this is to add ipfw and maybe ipsec. Thanks all for allowing me to ask this newbie question. cheers Jay here is my ifconfig dc0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.111 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet6 fe80::203:6dff:fe00:9bd%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:03:6d:00:09:bd media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX) status: active dc1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 216.138.226.22 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 216.138.226.31 inet6 fe80::280:c6ff:feea:7af1%dc1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 ether 00:80:c6:ea:7a:f1 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM> inet 216.138.224.10 netmask 0xfffffffc broadcast 216.138.224.11 inet6 fe80::250:daff:fe1b:90c3%xl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 ether 00:50:da:1b:90:c3 media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 here is my /etc/rc.conf gateway_enable="YES" hostname="fw.bwlogic.com" # LAN ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.1.111 netmask 255.255.255.0" # DMZ ifconfig_dc1="inet 216.138.226.22 netmask 255.255.255.240" # INET ifconfig_xl0="inet 216.138.224.10 netmask 255.255.255.252" kern_securelevel_enable="NO" sendmail_enable="YES" sshd_enable="YES" usbd_enable="YES" # routed settings router_flags="-q" router="/sbin/routed" router_enable="YES"
