You might want to check out www.mostgraveconcern.com and check out the article on setting up a Dual-Homed machine (it's under the 'Advanced Topics' listing on the left frame). Without setting up your FBSD to handle NAT (for your 192. box), and a firewall, AND to act as a gateway, it would seem that nothing would work right =) Hope that helps, John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
