NATD server problem on 5.3 ?

[bob at a1poweruser.com]

Saying it's not working is way to vague.
You need to post more details about what is not working.
Like can the 5.3 server ping the public internet?
Can it ping PCs on the LAN?
Can a win LAN PC ping the server?
What does the firewall log contain?
Have you tested with firewall out of the way by having only single
rule to pass all packets?
/sbin/ipfw -f flush
/sbin/ipfw add allow all from any to any

Subject: NATD server problem on 5.3 ?


Well i recently installed my first natd server on
freebsd 5.3, but its not working ?

 here is wat i did ..

1. compiles kernal with the following options

options IPFIREWALL
options IPV6FIREWALL
options IPDIVERT

2. made the following entries in rc.conf

defaultrouter="10.0.0.1"
gateway_enable="YES"
hostname="natserver"
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.0.1  netmask
255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_xl0="inet 10.0.0.5  netmask 255.255.255.0"
firewall_enable="yes"
natd_enable="yes"
natd_interface="xl0"
natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.conf"

3. made the following entries in rc.firewall


/sbin/ipfw -f flush
/sbin/ipfw add allow all from any to any via fxp0
/sbin/ipfw add allow icmp from  any to any out via xl0
/sbin/ipfw add allow all from any to any via lo0
/sbin/ipfw add divert natd ip from any to any via xl0
/sbin/ipfw add allow ip from any to 10.0.0.5 in recv
xl0
/sbin/ipfw add allow ip from 10.0.0.5 to any out xmit
xl0

4. configure the windows clients as follows

ipaddress = 192.168.0.3
subnet   = 255.255.255.0
gateway  = 192.168.0.1
dns server = 192.168.0.2 "dns server capable of
resolving internet & local address"

this is all that i have done but still interet is not
working on clients , what should i do now ?
