I have two FreeBSD boxes, one for server tasks (ftp, Apache, etc..) and the other for a desktop system.
I have a router that connects to the server and have been using a bridge to connect other machines to the router through the server. I set this up following the FreeBSD handbook Bridging guide, so my rc.conf now reads:
I have been able to connect both my Xbox and Windows 7 laptop to the internet through this bridge, but it does not work anytime I connect a FreeBSD based machine to it(I have used both PC-BSD and plain FreeBSD).
Do I need to add:
to my rc.conf on the server? I would like to just have my main router assigning the IP's so I don't think that is what I want.
One last thing, dhclient rl0 on the server and dhclient fxp0 on the desktop both return:
but I am using the same cable that I used to connect successfully to my Win 7 box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
