Hello,

I have a computer running FreeBSD 3.4 (custom kernel) with two network cards
(fxp0, fxp1).  fxp0 is on my local network (FreeBSD, NTWks, Win98) and I
want to use fxp1 to connect to my AT&T@home cable modem.  I have a static IP
address from @home, both NIC's are recognized by FreeBSD but I'm still
having trouble.  I've read man pages, huge chunks for the manual, man pages
galore, and several tutorials that start out with "All you have to do..."
and nothing is working.

Using /stand/sysinstall I've configured fxp1 with the info from @home (Host
name, Domain, DNS Server, Gateway, IP address, subnet mask).  Now I'm trying
to configure fxp0 for my network but changing the host name changes it for
both cards.  I thought the whole point of having two cards was that each
card had it's own complete set of info.  Apparently I'm way off base there
but that leaves me not knowing how to proceed.

From what I've read there seem to be five things that need to be configured
for my FreeBSD box to work as a gateway:
fxp0 (Private network)
	HOST:
	DOMAIN:
	DNS Server:
	GATEWAY:
	IP ADDR: 192.168.0.NNN
	SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
fxp1 (@home)
	HOST: CWHATEVER
	DOMAIN: HOME.COM
	DNS Server: 24.YYY.YYY.YYY
	GATEWAY: 24.XXX.XXX.XXX
	IP ADDR: 24.ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ
	SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0

ipfw:

natd:

bind:

I've filled in what I'm fairly confident about.  I know this is a lot to ask
for on the mailing list but this is my third day trying get there on my own
and I don't have a whole lot to show for it.  I've got a ton of books in the
mail (Thank you Amazon and O'Reilly) but I want to at least connect my
FreeBSD box to the internet before reading all of them!

Has anyone seen a good tutorial on this?  I've tried a few but not only did
they not work I didn't even get enough of a response to figure out what was
not working.

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps and a thousand curses on anyone
sitting there laughing so hard they can't breath!

John Purser
