Steve, I thank you for your excellent tutorial pages. I have now connected to Rogers@home and have solved my CDROM access problem. Instead of using the CDROM option in /stand/sysinstall I needed to go to load the files at /cdrom. However, here come another 2 hurdles I need to cross. Problem 1 My server has two 650 MHZ Pentium III CPUs for SMP. I reconfigured and compiled the kernel for SMP but only CPU #1 is launched according to the screen read-out. Is there also a CPU #0 that is already assumed, or should I be seeing CPU #2 launched as the other CPU ? Problem 2 I am trying to set up a multiple homed gateway host using 3 NICs. All confuguration so far has been according to your "Setting-up a Dual-Homed Host using IPFW and NATD" and all has gone well. When at step 6 to check firewall rules, however, I get the following: 00100 divert 8668 ip from any to any via fxp0 00100 allow ip from any to any via lo0 00200 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 65000 allow ip from any to any 65535 deny ip from any to any THE LAST LINE ABOVE IS DIFFERENT FROM YOUR EXAMPLE. I guess this is because of the 3rd NIC. Your system has two (2). How should I configure the third NIC? How do I differentiate the third Nic from the second? (IPs) Can I set different firewall rules for each of the three NICs? Or only for two? I'm planning to use the third NIC as a second LAN connection to the server. Can I also/alternatively use one of three/four NICs to set a redundant Internet connection?
