The 675 then provides NAT to the network. I think it might be best to have the 675 get it's DHCP from USW, set it up in Bridging mode then make your firewall/Natd computer hand out DHCP too. The only reason I'd do it differently would be to have the redundancy of a 2nd firewall. Actually you should dump US West anyways and find a provider who'll give you a static IP, even easier to setup and if you look around it'll cost only marginally more (like $2/month) If you go that route you can do what I did, set the 675 to bridge, assign the IP to your firewall machine's primary NIC. Use IPFW/Natd to create a gateway through your second NIC. It'll cost you an extra card but I think it'd be easier to setup. :) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
