Hi,

I've been trying to setup a freebsd firewall with ipf and ipnat but have run into some issues.

Firstly the network is setup as follows.

Router/modem[192.168.1.1]<->[192.168.1.100]freebsd firewall[192.168.3.1]<->[DHCP]LAN

I can ping all systems in the LAN and ping sites on the internet but only through ip addresses from the private network. Also i am unable to browse internet pages with a web browser from the private network. The firewall is using the router facing the internet as it's nameserver and has no problems resolving names.

So my question is this. Do i need to set rules in the firewall to let the private network get its dns info from the same place as the firewall or would it be more secure to set up named on the same machine as the firewall?

Confused. Would appreciate any and all help.

Thank you.

Stephen

Okay was just a firewall rules issue.

Thanks.
