Need some one who is smart....


MY HOST is : a windows 98 SE machine running winproxy.

my freebsd box is connected throught a hub and then to the HOST. when i use the vi editor to check /etc/hosts and /etc/rc.conf i see that all the IP's are fine and that the domain name is correct.

I CAN:

ping myself in the freebsd box
ping the freebsd box from the HOST
ping the HOST from the freebsd

I CANNOT:
ping the rest of the world.

Can someone help!?

Try the other way around. Make your FreeBSD box the gateway. Then use NAT (either natd, or ipnat <== my preference).

you didn't say how a traceroute worked from inside.

if you're not going to switch the boxes (i would suggest you would as well) make sure internet connection sharing is enabled, if you can. or, make sure to set up your software with the correct proxy address enabled.

Have you checked the routing tables?
'route add default <ip of win box>' ?

you will have to be more clear when asking questions!!

Does your win98 communicate with your lan??
Also what ips are assigned to win 98 machine ..is it directly connected to internet and no 2nd ethernet card for win98 to send packets to hub to rest of machines on the LAN...

Well these are the things goiung through my mind not sure about you..

Also maybe you have firewall on your freebsd box try..

#ipfw show

or

#ipfw add allow all tcp from 0.0.0.0 to 0.0.0.0 #if firewall enabled ..otherwise flush commands then try

#ipfw -flush


then try...if that works read firewall configuration
