Re: how to use Konqueror behind a firewall

Lauri,
I tried this and when I rebooted it stoped half way through the process. I
then commented out this line defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" and posted my
question.

All I have now done is uncomment the line in the rc.conf, rebooted and
everything is now working.

Thanks for your help,
Ivan

The same way.  Tell the FreeBSD box to use the FreeBSD firewall as the
gateway

In rc.conf, add the address of the gateway as follows:

defaultrouter="192.168.15.254"

or if you're more comfortable that way, use /stand/sysinstall (-->
Post-install configuration --> networking --> interfaces, and add the
address
of the firewall as the IPv4 gateway)
