    Hello there

    How do would I go about configuring FreeBSD 5.1 to be a leased line
    server? Basically a mail server and gateway.
    I can get a null modem to connect and obtain an IP address. But I am
    only able to access the machine from outside if there is a
    "default_router" for my network.

    Here is my rc.conf file:

    #defaultrouter="192.168.1.4"
    hostname="bsd.adept.co.za"
    ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.1.145 netmask 255.255.255.0"
    inetd_enable="NO"
    kern_securelevel_enable="NO"
    linux_enable="YES"
    saver="daemon"
    sendmail_enable="YES"
    sshd_enable="YES"

    network_interfaces="rl0 ppp0"
    router_enable="NO"

    gateway_enable="YES"
    firewall_enable="YES"
    firewall_type="OPEN"
    natd_enable="YES"
    natd_interface="ppp0"
    natd_flags=""

    I cannot ping any external addresses from the box.
    I have already compiled my kernel for IP forwarding as stated in the
    handbook.
    The other thing, is that my connect script doesn't run at startup, even
    though i have put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ . But that is minor for now.

    What have I done incorrectly and what else do i still need to do?

    Thanks

    Andre
