Hi Sam, The idea that for the internal networks you should use so-called private address space (unless you are a big organization that need and can get a public address block of its own). You can read about it in more detail here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network So, for your upstream interface you use the address obtained via DHCP from your provider. For your internal networks you use private blocks, for example: Network 1: 192.168.0.1 mask 255.255.255.0 Network 2: 192.168.1.1 mask 255.255.255.0 Network 3: 192.168.2.1 mask 255.255.255.0 etc... And you configure NAT on the router to perform address translation for the external connections (See FreeBSD handbook for that). Personally I think ipfilter/ipnat (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/firewalls-ipf.html) is more easy and convenient but other people probably will have other opinions =) If you don't have a public IP address (sometimes this is optional service that costs extra money) and it happens that your provider also uses 192.168.x.x block in ITS internal network (that is EXTERNAL for you), just change your internal networks to some other block.
