Did you set options GATEWAY in the kernel config file for your machine,
and re-compiled the kernel to use this gateway option. This must be done
even if you have gateway=YES in your sysconfig. If you want to done
multicast routing over the gateway interface you must also put an
options MROUTING in your kernel config file.
The kernel config files and templates are in
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf
Follow the ones there, do a config <YOUR FILE NAME>, change to
/usr/src/sys/compile/<YOUR FILE NAME>/ directory, do a
make depend, followed by a make, move the old /kernel to /kernel.old
and then move the just made kernel to /.
This should do it.
Cheers,
Ross Walker
