Presumably, your machines are all connected using a hub? If so, it's really just a case of configuring your FreeBSD machine's ethernet interface with the correct IP address and you're set. The /etc/rc.conf options you want to set are: hostname network_interfaces ifconfig_??0 The options should be described in the rc.conf manpage. If you want to use your FreeBSD box as a dial-up gateway for your LAN, then you need to look at the PPP primers, available with a bit of hunting in the documentation section of the FreeBSD web page: http://www.freebsd.org/ If you're trying to do something else, you should really explain your network layout and your objective more accurately and we may be able to help. :-) Later, Sheldon.
