If you don't know IP address of your internal server, than chances are that it was assigned via DHCP by your router. For what you want to do, you should probably reconfigure the server with a specific internal IP address instead of having it assigned. Assuming that I've guessed correctly about your set-up: First find out from your router what the the range of the "DHCP pool" is. Look at the DHCP configuration on your router. Then pick an address that is NOT in that range but still part of your local network. Then use sysinstall on your FreeBSD box to give it that IP address. Many of the details depend on details of your set-up which I don't know, so it is hard to be more specific. Cheers, -j -- Jeffrey Goldberg http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/
