Very Computer

Hi, I've read the FAQ's and Man pages and other goodies but I'm missing
something.

My purpose here is :  Use my OpenBSD machine as a gateway for my win98
pc
Here's what I've done so far:

Upon install, I used DHCP request for my internet-connected NIC then I
turned that off
by changing the hostname.ep0 file.
The other NIC ep1 was never dynamically addressed.

the kernal switches are turned on, the ipf.rules file and ipnat.rules
file are as follows

pass in from any to any
pass out from any to any

map ep0 192.168.42.0/24 -> 24.108.47.129/32 proxy port ftp ftp/tcp
map ep0 192.168.42.0/24 -> 24.108.47.129/32 portmap tcp/udp 10000:60000
map ep0 192.168.42.0/24 -> 24.108.47.129/32

my hosts file is a little unorthodox:

# ip Address    Hostname                        Alias
#----------------------------------------------------------------

127.0.0.1       localhost
24.108.47.129   server1.powersurfr.com          server1
192.168.42.1    server1.neil.net
192.168.42.10   client1.neil.net

the pc has DNS enabled and uses the following heirarchy
192.168.42.1
dn1.internetguy.com
dn2.internetguy.com

BUT I STILL CANNOT PING THE OUTSIDE WORLD FROM THE PC WHY????

Route tables?

Here's a bit more info on my problem. Anyone see the problem???
Routing tables

Try to reorder those two rules.

 "One world, one web, one program" - Microsoft Promo ad.

Changed the order but to no avail.  I've been atempting to diagnose this
further, I have not been able to get dnsquery to find
server1.neil.net or client1.neil.net. I thought DNS would look in the hosts
file so with entiries there I thought I was okay but
I guess not.  Shoud I be setting up a cashing DNS server on the OpenBSD
machine or am I okay without?

So ep0 is your internet connected NIC and ep1 the local one?
I think only the local NIC need be in the ipnat rules.
e.g. Try the following:

map ep1 192.168.42.0/24 -> ep1/32 portmap tcp/udp 10000:60000
map ep1 192.168.42.0/24 -> ep1/32

this is what works for me (I am sending this e-mail from my
laptop via my desktop).

Whoops, mixed up my local NIC and internet connected NIC...
In the above it should read ep0 instead of ep1 and the internet
connected NIC is the one that should be in the rules instead
of the local NIC.

Thanks for everyones great ideas. I accuallly got DNS working fine now.
But still no internet joy. Is it possible that the 2.6 generic kernal does
not have ipf compiled in it if a FTP install is done?
