Hello, I have a small test network which I use for experimentation and learning;^) FreeBSD. My set up is as follows ISP / Internet | | | V ADSL Modem | | | --------------------------- Win2K (public IP is issued everytime I connect, therefore it changes all the time) Internal IP 192.168.0.1 --------------------------- | | | -------- 10BaseT Hub -------- | | | ------------------------- FreeBSD 192.168.0.2 ------------------------- My questions: 1) I am using the win2K as my gateway because the dial up I am using can only use the ADSL modem provided, which links to a USB port on the PC, and is quite straight forward to configure. Is there a way to setup my FreeBSD with an ADSL modem which uses an asymmetric path and dynamic address, to connect to my ISP? If so how or any links will be much appreciated;^) 2) Is there a way to hack arround my W2K box and use it just for connection purposes, BUT have all traffic, routed to my internal FreeBSD box? I have Apache running on the W2K box, which I though I could perhaps configure so that I can do vhosts, but am not sure as to how to achieve this? Well I hope I have made myself clear here, I myself am unsure;^(, but for the record - the reason I have this set up is that I don't know how to configure the ADSL modem on the FreeBSD and I don't have a static IP which is due to the fact that BTOpenworld does not offer this for its home service - so if any one knows of an ISP which provides an ADSL for under £40 per month with a static IP OR if there is any other way to set it up with a limited budget;^) Many thanks Norman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
