I have a freebsd box with 5 interfaces. 1 is used to connect to a cable modem. The other 4 cards connect to internal networks. --- ed0 --- freebsd4.2 box --- fxp0 = 10.0.255.254/16 --- fxp1 = 10.1.255.254/16 --- fxp2 = 10.2.255.254/16 --- ex0 = 10.3.255.254/16 On the 10.0/16 network exists a Windows 2000 professional/workstation machine with a printer. Can I use ipfw forwarding rules, or some other method, to allow clients on the other subnets to print to this server? I guess this means forwarding all sort of broadcast crap as well, but I haven't done any sniffing yet. I'm kind of hoping that somebody else out there has already done this. Do people think the MS box will cope, or will NAT be the go? Thanks, Dave Seddon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ipfw" in the body of the message
