I'm not sure why you have this file (maybe a bug in our installer?), but it's not used in Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. Instead, you'd use /etc/sysctl.conf or /boot/loader.conf. > I tried to manually enable "nat" but still no go. > mach16:~# sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 > [...] > > Also tried to enable ip_forwarding "the linux way" :) > in /etc/sysctl.conf and rebooted my machine but still the same problem. > # > # Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4 > net/ipv4/ip_forward=1 If you use Linux-style sysctls, no wonder they don't work :). You can only use kFreeBSD sysctl names in this file. > BTW, im using my working openbsd /etc/pf.conf so i'm sure it's working. > And yes, i have changed the "interfaces" in pf.conf accordingly :) I've used NAT with PF on GNU/kFreeBSD succesfuly before, so I can assure you it works. I don't have my config anymore to check with, though. Maybe you could check somehow if forwarding works before checking with NAT in your PF setup? -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
