Thomas,
The problem is to do with setting up natd. You don't need
router_enable="YES".
Firstly, natd listens on a divert socket for packets to 'translate' from the
internet to your LAN. Therefore, you need to make sure that the IP packets
going to and coming from your modem get sent to natd.
The way to do this is using ipfw, the kernel firewall. If you're not already
using it (which I would recommend doing anyhow), you'll need to recompile
your kernel with "options IPFIREWALL" and "options IPDIVERT" (checkout man
ipfw). Then simply do :
ipfw add divert natd ip from any to any via rl0
Assuming rl0 is the interface that has your 213.209.66.214 address, this
will pass all ip packets through natd, which will rewrite them
transparently.
Secondly, you need to tell natd which interface (IP address actually) to
operate on. To do this just add 'natd_interface="rl0"' to you /etc/rc.conf ,
if rl0 is your internet interface. If you have a dynamic IP address, you may
want to add 'natd_flags="-dynamic"' aswell. See man natd for details.
Then it should all work fine!
A couple of points to check for : make sure you add a default route for your
ISP's IP (the one the modem connects to) and be careful the connection with
the public IP address is indeed on rl0 (if you use PPPOE for example,
another interface is used...)
Hope this helps,
Jonathan
