NAT configuration question
Grant
I have installed 3.0 on a P60 intel machine with two network cards, using
a cable modem.
The ftp installation went just fine. I went on to configure pf and NAT.
The firewall reaches the internet just fine.
However, I'm having trouble accessing the internet with my windows pc. .
Here is the configuration.
--Firewall--
rc.conf: pf=YES
sysctl.conf: net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
pf.conf: pass in all
pass out all
nat.conf: nat on we0 from 192.168.1.0/24 to any -> 24.5.0.5
hostname.ep0: dhcp
hostname.we0: 192.168.1.1
--Windows 98 client--
IP address: 192.168.1.50
Net MasK 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS Configuration: disable dns
Diagnosis:
Windows box can ping the firewall.
Windows box can ssh to the firewall.
Attempt to ssh to another host, get error "host not found"
Can not reach web pages, by entering IP or host name.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Check /etc/sysctl.conf
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 # 1=Permit forwarding (routing) of packets

Sorry, didn't notice you already enabled that option.

Looks like you have to edit "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties" and
either check "Obtain DNS server address automatically" or "Use the following
DNS server addresses" as your win98 box is unable to resolve addresses.
