All I want is to be allowed to visit websites but don't allow anyone out there to come in somehow a template that I can use and try out to see if I can get it working. Of course the network name might be different, but I can try to figure things out. ne0, fe0, ra0, ..., etc After figuring this out, my next big job/task is to use FreeBSD to make up a new router/dhcp server to give/assign ip numbers to machines from one and give to many. This has been something hard that I have failed at several times. Maybe with FreeBSD I can be successfull? Thanks, Antonio
