As is the Handbook. Easy to search the online versions as well. Not only can FreeBSD connect to your ISP via DHCP but it can NAT and DHCP for any other computer in your house without the ISP knowing. Everything needed is included in the standard install. However I don't recommend running a DHCP server for a little internal net. Tonight's second lesson is that if you must use Outlook Express to post to the mailing lists, don't send in HTML format. I don't know why your message says it was sent on Sunday but hotmail received it today and it arrived here about 6 hours ago. Your use of HTML is likely the reason nobody (else) has answered yet. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
