Hi! In a few days I'll get fast access to the internet via WLAN. I have a wireless accesspoint connected to my (single) network card. I have one single public static IP address from my ISP and I'll assign it to this card. Of course I want to give other people in my LAN also access to the net, so I'll by a second network card, setting it up with a local ip-address/netmask. A few questions arise: 1) I'll have to do some routing with my computer, is there a good online tutorial you can recommend covering this rather simple case? 2) What's the easiest way to log the traffic to my ISP? I don't want to exceed a certain download/upload limit. How can I gain controll over this? 3) I have to network cards: you can I be sure that the right IP is assigned to the right (physical) network card using rc.conf? I has to depend somehow on the position on the PCI-bus: which one is detected first and assigned first or due to which fact are the network-cards numbered? Thanks a lot Florian
