Hi all,
First of all, let me make clear that I am running NAS4Free - I am aware of the forum rules and have already posted on their forums a couple of days ago, but have not yet had a response. Second of all, I'm not sure if this topic belongs in this (Networking) subforum, or in the related Firewall subforum - apologies if it's in the wrong place. [ Moved to Firewall forum due to 'Permission denied' error -- Mod. ]
The background is that I set up a NAS to play with, get happy/comfortable with *BSD etc., and am now in the process of settling down to do a clean full install with just the packages/modifications I want. The problem I'm having though, is that I'm unable to ping out of the the machine, nor ping to it. Can anyone help? I've included below all the outputs I can think of that might be useful, but at the moment I'm still such a novice there are likely more needed.
Installation settings were DHCP (I will change to static at a later date), and auto for IPv6. Settings/outputs are below:
	
	
	
		
Pinging localhost:
	
	
	
		
Pinging router:
	
	
	
		
Checking firewall:
	
	
	
		
Excerpt from /etc/rc.conf:
	
	
	
		
Check that the router allows pings by pinging router from my Macbook:
