You don't mention which version of FreeBSD so I will assume 2.1.10-RELEASE. What is the value of the sysctl variable named net.inet.ip.forwarding ? $ sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding to see its value. 209 [18:56] roberto@keltia:~> sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1 If it is not at 1, then you're definitely not forwarding packets between interfaces. To manually set it, use # sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 Look into /etc/sysconfig for most configuration parameters including this one. > Also.
