Hi Everyone!

I have a problem with my openbsd firewall setup that I dont seem to come
by, and I hope you can help me because no one else can ;)

I use my openbsd box as a firewall for protecting my pc and latop from
the internet. The firewall does NAT and this works great. My Notebook is
connected via WLAN and not normal lan, so I want to use IPSec (ESP) to
encrypt all the traffic going from my openbsd box to my notebook and
back via WLAN.

The Problem however is that while the firewall does NAT even via WLAN,
and the communication from notebook to firewall is encrypted, the
combination of bnoth does not work (ie i can ping or use nfs access
from the notebook to the firewall and the traffic seems to be encrypted,
but if I try to ping hosts on the internet, pings only return if I
instruct my notebook to accept connections which are not encrypted,
too).

Can anyone of you please help in this case by come clue as where to look
or maybe anyone has had similar problems? I am quite sure this is some
thinking error on my part, but I just cant figure out what I did wrong,
especially since NAT alone as well as IPSec alone *does* work.

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Yours,

Christian Fuchs
