The problem we are experiencing is that packets transmit to and from the machine when a connection is initiated from the outside, but when initiated from the box itself, no connection is possible. We've determined why packets cannot be initiated from the machine, but cannot fix it. For example, we initiate a ping from the bsd box to a linux box. In reality, the bsd box has an ip of x.x.x.2, but the ping shows up on the linux box as the router card's ip of x.x.x.206. Therefore, no connection is possible because the packet seems to come from x.x.x.206 (the router card) which in reality has not. If anybody has any ideas whatsoever, please drop an email to cpm01@gnofn.org. Thanks Craig
