My dad has a Windows 2000 machine with a network card but does not have a connection to the internet. My freebsd 6.2 box is connected to the internet and has 2 network cards, rl0 and rl1. rl0 connects to the ISP and rl1 is directly connected via a long Ethernet cable to the NIC on my dad's machine. While I can access the internet easily, I want my dad to be able to connect to the internet with my freebsd box serving as the gateway. Can anyone please explain to me in easy steps how to accomplish this ? Thanks in advance for any help. Manish Jain unxfbsdi@gmail.com
