Additionally, I'd suggest checking out Greg Leahy's FreeBSD book, now available in downloadable PDF format from http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/. Even better, buy it. If you don't have a registered domain name, note that the "example.org" domain is reserved for such uses; but any "fantasy" name should work, providing the name you choose doesn't conflict with a real (registered) domain. You'll also most likely want to add a DHCP server. cd /usr/ports && make search name=dhcp The rest is left as an exercise for the reader.
