If I understand correctly, the BSD box is the one connected to the internet. Then you could use FreeBSD's user ppp with the alias option, or use natd (has more features), if you just get assigned one IP addr. If you have multiple IPs then there's another option (the box would serve as an actual router), but ive never done this. You might want to see the freebsd handbook at the site for more information. > > Thanks for your help. > > Wesley Huber > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
