novell through freebsd firewall

Tue May 31 03:32:54 PDT 2005

Hi all!

I'm sorry for my poor English.

I have Novell netware clients version 4.91 working over ip on windows 2000
boxes which connect to novell netware servers.

Everything is good when clients and servers are on the same subnet.

I want to separate clients from servers by FreeBSD firewall with 2
interfaces, one ifece is in one subnet,

another iface is in another subnet and nat.

When client sends request to 239.255.255.253.svrloc udp

And 224.0.1.22.svrloc udp

It does not receive answer.

I tuned freebsd box to forward multicast packets, after that freebsd
receives request on one iface, then after nat is

Forwards in to second iface and sends multicast packet to servers. Servers
send answers to second freebsd iface

And do not forward them to first iface.

Could anyone can help me please
