This machine has the dhclient enabled on ed0 (external NE2000) and uses natd -dynamic on this interface. The other NIC is ed1 and has a fixed address (192.168.x.254) all other machines on the internal network use the same subnet and have 192.168.x.254 as their default gateway. For the "internal" machines, the Internet Access is fully transparent : they use all Net services without being aware a NAT is going on (natd on FreeBSD takes care of ftp, which can fail in a NAT setting) my dhclient is started via /etc/rc.local TfH Nick LoPresti wrote: > > This is kinda a long one, sorry for the reading... > > HOW IT IS NOW: > > 1.
