[EMAIL PROTECTED] cat /etc/rc.conf | grep gateway gateway_enable="YES" [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysctl -a | grep ip.for net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1 > > What DNS server is your LAN machine trying to use? Can you ping it > (or > anything else) by IP? My LAN is presently using MY ISP's DNS server until I get a caching name server configured on the gateway. I can't ping the DNS server by IP or hostname but I can ping everything else that is on my LAN by IP. Including the switch, the IP that is assigned to bge1 and all the IPs I have assigned to the machines behind the switch. > > JN > Gardner _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ipfw To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
