(or any version since 4.x?) The = last I remember hearing about it was Julian Stacey saying it didn't work = in 2007. JHB has made http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2007-June/020820.html = http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-December/081123.ht= ml I think I still have a laplink cable but I don't think I've used it = since the 90's. That said, it was a nice feature, especially before = CD's, USB and standard (or any) Ethernet interfaces were ubiquitous on = laptops. If it works at all the FAQ should be fine; if it doesn't the docs should = be updated to either remove the FAQ or include a caveat. [win95-connection] This is a bit dated but fine. The natd Handbook page = could maybe reference other ways of doing NAT besides natd--e.g. using = pf or ipfw. The IPFW Handbook page could be updated and simplified to = include e.g. "firewall_nat_enable" instead of using divert/natd. [nfs-linux] Looks fine. Possibly less of an issue than it used to be but = I do remember encountering that issue. [bpf-not-configured] Looks fine. [icmp-response-bw-limit] Looks fine, the sysctls haven't changed.
