Your message isn't really something for freebsd-isp. -questions would be more appropriate for this.

Don't know about this...i got it done in one day, interrupted by work and school. >So finally my question is, how do I go about achieving option #4. 1) Do the physical setup as described above. 2) Install a DHCP client and get the FreeBSD machine's internet connection working. 3) Install NATD on the FreeBSD gateway. (i've found a carefully set-up SOCKS5 server to be good too, in case you need mIRC or some other program which doesn't like natd). 4) Install firewalling on the FreeBSD gateway. 5) Set up the Win95 system to use the FreeBSD machine as a gateway (described in the pedantic PPP primer at www.freebsd.org/tutorials) Good luck and have fun! --Ludwig Pummer ludwigp@bigfoot.com ICQ UIN: 692441 http://chipweb.home.ml.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
