RTFM. There are plenty of How-To's and examples of how to do this. For starters I'd surf http://www.freebsd.org/ which quickly turned up http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/dialup-firewall/index.html which deals with the IPFW issues with DHCP. Sending mail with Outlook Express suggests you might not have FreeBSD running yet. Making it hard to read the man pages. So visit http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?manpath=FreeBSD+4.3-RELEASE for starters you need natd(8). Flat out the easiest way to pull this off is with a dedicated router. SMC, Linksys, Netgear, all make $100 routers with 10/100 switches on the "inside" of the firewall. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
