look at the defaults in /etc/defaults/rc.conf
specifically look for lines with gateway in them
iegateway_enable=NO
copy the appropriate lines into /etc/rc.conf
edit
iegateway_enable=YES
You will need to set the the default_route line also to point
to the isp I think ...

Subject: Adding a FreeBSD Gateway on a DSL/ ATM circuit
Aloha,
My current problem is that I need to use a box as a FreeBSD
6.* gateway/firewall to the internet protecting an MS box
that is in the office for doing a lot of photo work and
uploading to servers for the company my wife works with. I
was going to use a freesco (Linux)disk
/firewall/gateway/router like I have on my single dsl 1.5/384 line.
(This is currently what is protecting the MS box on this circuit.)
However, the freesco setup does not work as a gateway on the
leg of the ATM 5 IP circuit where we want to move the MS box
to. I have tried to get it setup and have emailed the freesco
lists and apparently no one has accomplished this.
I have now built a FreeBSD box with 2 nics to use as a
gateway/router/firewall between the single MS box and the
internet. ed1 is on the 66.xxx.132.236 leg of the ATM. The
defaultgateway on the internet side of the ATM is 66.xxx.132.233.
The LAN side of the box ed0 is 192.168.1.1 to which the MS
box is directed. ( I am using a test box 192.168.1.29 with
FreeBSD 6* in place of the MS box at this point.)
I can ping from the gateway box nic to the internet ok. I can
ping from the Test box to the Lan side of the gateway box OK.
I cant reach the internet thru the gateway. I have read
probably 5 howtos from the FreeBSD hand book and elsewhere
and none are exactly what I am doing.
On FreeBSD Questions list recently there was a similar issue
question posted but no body answered the post.
It had to do with rc.conf
Listing both Nics ifconfig_ed0 =66.xxx.132.236 netmask
255.255.255.248 #inet side
ifconfig -ed1=192.168.1.1 netmask
255. 255.255.0 # lan side
and gateway_enable=YES which
I have done.
At this point I have not attempted a firewall PF or IPFW
since I cant reach the internet thru the gateway and I want
to understand what is not right with this setup first.
If I use: route add -net 192.168.1 .29192.168.1.1
I can no longer ping the Lan side of the gateway from the test box.
Can you direct me to or give me a howto on setting this up so
I can reach the internet if indeed its possible using a
gateway/firewall on the leg of an ATM circuit? Any help would
be appreciated.
Thanks,
