NAT adn ADSL in Freebsd 5.2.1

[matheusber]

i did everything as said in the nat howto in the freebsd handbook. i have this network:

internet -- adsl router ( working as a bridge ) -- freebsd -- switch -- network

the adsl router has an invalid ip in a network that just has itself and the freebsd.

the problems:

1 - i cant reach the adsl router from my machine. i can see the router receiving the ping, but nothing comes back.
2 - the rp-pppoe software i got from freebsd.org from FreeBSD 4.x cant even make the router blink ... so nothing gets there :/

as i dont know much about the freebsd ipfw, how can i let the firewall completely off ? the OPEN option is not like this ... somethings are blocked ...
is there needed a special ppp package to work with pppoe ?

thanks ...

matheus

ps: i hope someday i'll find freebsd's rc.local

Internal IP of the router? Freebsd box?

the dsl router is at 192.168.253.253
freebsd 192.168.253.100 and 192.168.254.253

i found that ppp can handle pppoe. but just worked here once :/
and is demand dialing ... i'd like something static ...

and rp-pppoe can find the modem ... :/

again ... i'm using my SpeedStream 5200 as brigde ...

news:

i can connect through freebsd's native pppd, but it just works when the nat support in rc.conf is disabled. also when nat is on, there is a lag in the machine boot sequece and when accessing this machine through ssh there is also this big lag :/

thanks ... ( right this time

everything works when there is nothing in rc.conf ... manualy all works ... :/
