I don't profess to be a Unix GURU, but what I did to accomplish this was: network_interfaces="lo0 mx0" # include my linksys card on mx0 ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration. ifconfig_mx0="inet 192.168.1.2" # Setup local network device defaultrouter="192.168.1.3" # make the default route go to dolphin's ed1 static_routes="" on my "other" box (substitute your 10.x.x.x address for my 192.168.x.x address). The "other" NIC in my gateway was setup as 192.168.1.3 and thus this "defaultrouter" line makes the default route to that machine (which then forwards things appropriately). As far as the DNS, I run named on my gateway so, my /etc/resolv.conf just looks like this: search home-net chnd1.az.home.com nameserver 192.168.1.3 But, I can't imagine why you couldn't just put nameserver 24.2.222.33 in there. The default route line above should make everything "work" (or at least I think ... YMMV :). -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, Higher Levels of Abstraction | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
