Hey all --
I have a freebsd box and a sparc running solaris sitting here waiting for me
to create a network. I've been having my problems, however. I have a 5 port
hub which has an uplink port. I have a cable modem connection, which I
currently have set up with just my freebsd box using dhcp.
1) would it be possible to hook the cable modem into the uplink port, have
the freebsd box and sparc in two other ports, and have the freebsd box use
natd and act as a gateway? Or am I going to need a second ethernet card on
the gateway box?
2) If that is possible, can anyone point me in the right direction? I've
yet to find information concerning uplink ports on hubs in combination with
internal networks...
Thanks all,
