Hello, I had previously run pf with no problem. Then I switched to comcast, and clients can no longer access the internet.
I can access the internet from the server (via ssh BTW) running pf (which, among other things, should indicate that I power cycled the modem to release IP). Clients can still mount nfs drives. I've tried re-writing a new rule-set several times, using pf-faq and book-of-pf for examples to see if I'd missed something in my original rule set. I've even tried using a match/nat-to rule followed by pass all out of desperation, all to no avail. I had a static IP with my previous provider; but comcast is dynamic. However, I don't think that's an issue (see rule set below). After having a good laugh at my ISP selection, I would appreciate if one of you were to help me get back up and running. Below is all the info I think may be necessary; please let me know if there's anything more I can provide. Thank you all. -Scott Here is a schematic of my setup: -------internet---|cable modem|---|nfe0---SERVER---re0|---|switch|---|client1/2/3/etc| # sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 #
