FreeBSD 5.1 <-> WinXP Networking Problem UPDATE #2

[freebsder]

Hi Mark,

I put in: 
natd_flags="-dynamic"
But I could not get it up and running.

Btw, previously, what I've been doing to get the
machine on line was typing in:

# ipfw add 100 allow tcp from any to any via any
00100 allow tcp from any to any
# ipfw add 100 allow ip from any to any via any
00100 allow ip from any to any

I'm doing this because this allows me to surf the web
and download my Email respectively.  So when I do an
ipfw, I get:

# ipfw -a list
00100 308 68064 allow tcp from any to any
00100  38  3187 allow ip from any to any
65535 337 23993 deny ip from any to any

Now, after I made the change you suggested and
rebooted, I got:
# ipfw -a list
00050 276 17396 divert 8668 ip from any to any via
tun0
00100 134 14156 allow ip from any to any via lo0
00200   0     0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
00300   0     0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
65000   0     0 allow ip from any to any
65535   0     0 deny ip from any to any

Then I tried pinging out from my Win XP box to no
avail. 

I even added:

# ipfw add 100 allow tcp from any to any via any
00100 allow tcp from any to any
# ipfw add 100 allow ip from any to any via any
00100 allow ip from any to any

to get:

00050 286 17938 divert 8668 ip from any to any via
tun0
00100 134 14156 allow ip from any to any via lo0
00100   0     0 allow tcp from any to any
00100   0     0 allow ip from any to any
00200   0     0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
00300   0     0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
65000   0     0 allow ip from any to any
65535   0     0 deny ip from any to any

but still no dice!

I'm thinking I should probably Delete the following
two lines from above:
00200   0     0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
00300   0     0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any

and see what happends.  I will try this out now, but
if you have any other suggestions, prey tell.

as always ... thankyou.

Your Message::

Jumping in late, 

natd_enable="YES" # forward from inside
natd_interface="tun0"  # this being the connection to
outside world 
natd_flags="-dynamic" # because the ip addy may change


I don't know what your trying to do here??
>natd_flags="redirect_port tcp 192.168.1.1:80 80"
I would remove this until you get everything else
working.
