Sorry, but I am *NOT* going to put my internal machines onto a public network. My FreeBSD box is easy to secure, but some of the other stuff I have isn't so easy to secure. So I use my FreeBSD box not only as my main workstation and server, but as my firewall. > And @home does not condone the use of a > gateway to connect multiple PCs.. @home doesn't know their rear from an asparagus spear. @home doesn't condone using FreeBSD or Linux either. I don't intend to give them any reason to get aggressive about that, which polluting the public network with your internal IP address would do. -- Eric Lee Green http://members.tripod.com/e_l_green mail: e_l_green@hotmail.com ^^^^^^^ Burdening Microsoft with SPAM!
