Dear Sirs: I have two PC's; one is now proudly running FreeBSD OS. Can I use my internal DSL modem/ISP service located in my Windows98 SE machine to connect to the internet from my FreeBSD machine? These two machines used to be directly connected via ethernet(UTP, NIC cards, NE2000 compatible, no hub) for file sharing when both were Windows machines. I have a hub if I need to use it. Am I dreaming? How about; Could I use my DSL modem and FreeBSD to connect to the internet if I loaded FreeBSD in a dual boot scenario on one machine? What is the best way (protocol) to network the two machines? These questions may not be worthy. I'm still doing my homework. I did manage to get FreeBSD installed and X11 configured with only the help of available documentation. My interest in Unix stems from the fact that I "own" /maintain an application that runs on a SCO server at work. We have professional support, but that's no fun!! UNIX is fun and it's become a real hobby for me now. Dave Hocking To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
