 I tried to enable ipforwarding on FreeBSD2.0, but it didn't work.

 I did recompile the kernel with GATEWAY, IPFORWARDING, and 
 IPFORWARDING_VERBOSE options.

 I tried sysctl -a, it gave me ipforwarding = 1.

 I have 2 network cards, with different subnet. I tried to telnet from
 network1 to network2, it came back with timeout.

 Do I need to use ipfw command to enable this (yes, I read man ipfw, as  
 well as the sample of it, it seems a little to deep for a newbie like   
 me).

 Please give me a way to enable ipforwarding, without using ipfw.

 Thanks
