I use windows internet connection sharing to configure internet access for my home network. the laptop WLAN connects to internet via wireless hotspot and shares internet via LAN configured as gateway with ip 182.168.1.1, netmask 255.255.255.0
i installed nomadBSD on a desktop system and configured it with static ip 192.168.1.200, netmask 255.255.255.0, and default route 192.168.1.1, to use this gateway for internet access but i cannot browse the internet.
ifconfig and netstat -nr shows the correct static ip, netmask and default gateway but firefox says cannot reach server.
i could successfully ping google 8.8.8.8 but cant still browse. Need help i am new to BSD
Have you set /etc/resolv.conf ?
Should be similar to:
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain local
nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
