hello first thing is .. i am new to unix 8-) look out ... will here it goes i have install freebsd.. "lol that was it after 2 days of playing i got it" install the way i like it.. now i would like to connect my Win98 box's "3" that are on my lan to the Internet via FreeBSD note: the bsd box connection is this.... Ethernet connection my connection to the internet is cable modem @home ps: if u have the time i can set up usr/password for u on my bsd box.. and u can use the su command and get in to root.... and see what u can do..? will be looking forward to your reply i try to do this.. but i could not.. i need help..here this is what i use to set it up http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/networking.html#AEN3058 Q: Can I connect my Win95 box to the Internet via FreeBSD? A: Typically, people who ask this question have two PC's at home, one with FreeBSD and one with Win95; the idea is to use the FreeBSD box to connect to the Internet and then be able to access the Internet from the Windows95 box through the FreeBSD box. This is really just a special case of the previous question. ... and the answer is yes! In FreeBSD 3.x, user-mode ppp contains a -nat option. If you run ppp with the -nat, set gateway_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf, and configure your Windows machine correctly, this should work fine. More detailed information about setting this up can be found in the Pedantic PPP Primer by Steve Sims. If you are using kernel-mode ppp, or have an Ethernet connection to the Internet, you will have to use natd. Please look at the natd section of this FAQ. this is what i try to set up.. but i could not get it to work..... 8-( Q: Does FreeBSD support NAT or Masquerading A: If you have a local subnet (one or more local machines), but have been allocated only a single IP number from your Internet provider (or even if you receive a dynamic IP number), you may want to look at the natd program. Natd allows you to connect an entire subnet to the internet using only a single IP number. The ppp program has similar functionality built in via the -nat switch. The alias library is used in both cases. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?natd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
