Hi Lewis,

sounds like your linux computers on your old network have a wrong routing entry. If you can reach any other machine (bsd to windows, windows to bsd, ...) the linux perhaps have a wrong default gateway.

Hello,
I am currently trying to add another /24 network to my existing network with
a FreeBSD machine as the gateway to it. Currently, I have a /24 network
connected to the Internet w/ a cisco router. I have specified to the cisco
router that the new /24 network is connected to 192.168.0.14, which is the
external ip address of the bsd gateway machine. The internal ip address for
that machine is 192.168.1.1. which is what I have specified to all systems
on
the new network as the gateway.

I thought I had everything exactly the way it should be, except that
specifically my Linux machines on the old network cannot find the new
network at all. My windows machines on the old network can find the new
network. The bsd machines on the old network can find the new network. Other
non-Linux machines on the Internet can find the new network. The machines on
the new network can find everything but the linux machines on the old
network. It appears that only Linux machines cannot figure out where the new
network is and I am not so sure that I have set up the bsd gateway properly.
Its only one static route that has to be added so I think that routed and
certainly gated is overkill.

Please tell me what I need other than to specify enable_gateway="YES". I
have tried enable_firewall="YES" and set it to "open" but yet I still am
having these problems. What do I need to add here to get this going?
Thanks.
Lewis
