Hi,
Thanks for reading.
I'm running FreeBSD 4.x.

Basically, the problem i'm having - is that when I boot my Laptop - with the 
Netgear HA501 wireless card, all traffic on my FreeBSD box - which acts as 
the Gateway "stops". If I'm on IRC I ping timeout, browsing the net becomes 
impossible, etc.

The setup of my LAN, is that my business cable modem (which uses DHCP) 
connects to sis0 ethernet, the Access point (netgear HE102) connects via 
crossover to sis1 ethernet, and then the HA501 works wirelessley to the HE102 
AP. I set in config that it wouldnt use DHCP for the laptop, as hte laptop 
just uses the freebsd box as a gateway.

My "ifconfig" output is:

sis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::209:5bff:fe22:47d4%sis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        inet my.public.IP netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 255.255.255.255
        ether 00:09:5b:22:47:d4
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active

        ether 00:40:f4:3b:ba:91

        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4

sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552
faith0: flags=8002<BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

I have in /etc/rc.conf the following (as I'm using NAT):

ifconfig_sis0="DHCP"
kern_securelevel_enable="NO"
moused_enable="YES"
nfs_reserved_port_only="YES"
sshd_enable="NO"
usbd_enable="YES"
gateway_enable="YES"
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_type="OPEN"
natd_enable="YES"
natd_interface="sis0"
natd_flags=""
firewall_script="/etc/firewall/fwrules"
SENDMAIL_ENABLE="NONE"
ifconfig_sis1="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"

To make sure NAT was running, before, the "ps" output is:

$ ps -auxw | grep natd
root      77  0.0  0.7  1976 1716  ??  Ss    3:02PM  50:24.68 /sbin/natd -n 
sis0

To setup my FreeBSD box as a gateway, i did these steps:

I loaded IPFIREWALL and IPIDIVERT modules, to the Kernel, and recompiled it.
I added the stuff I pasted to rc.conf
and on the laptop (running WinXP) I put the following as the Network options:
IP address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.0.1

and my ISP's nameservers.

Some logging:

Before turning laptop on:
