Hiyas!

What line must i add to /etc/rc.conf file to enable multiple network
card gatewaying through one machine.
I currently have :
ifconfig_ed0 = "inet 168.142.1.1 168.142.1.2"
..so that this gateway machine is the 1.1, and the 1.2 is my workstation.
But I have now third computer which i would like to add to the network,
so what line must i put there to enable both of them. I've tried
ifconfig_ed0 = "inet 168.142.1.1 168.142.1.3" and many other variations,
but the only result i get is that first machine, 1.2 can telnet to the 1.1 machine
and can use it as a gateway, but the third machine 1.3 won't connect no matter
what i do. The windows configurations are ok. checked many times and are
similar to the working machine except the ip number. The message
FreeBSD gives me when i try to connect via telnet is :
ff.ff.ff.ff.ff.ff changed to 3d.25.33.11 or something incoherent.
All the machines have netmask 255.255.255.0
The point is that no matter when machine has the 1.2 address works, but from 
there on they won't. They only say when you try to connect :
Could not open connection to 168.142.1.1 (when the usual windows
message is Connection failed : 168.142.1.1), so it finds the machine
but it won't let it connect.

Thanks in advance //Sampsa
