I'm going to have two Intel EtherExpress PROs, and I = have plenty of IPs. I tried just setting it up so that the FreeBSD box = had Gateway enabled, but it wouldn't pass the packets to the DSL Router = with one IP and one NIC. I don't really understand why. If my BSD box = is X.X.X.2 and the DSL router is X.X.X.1 and the BSD box is set default = route X.X.X.1 and the LAN computers are set to have their gateway = X.X.X.2 (the BSD box), and gateway is enabled, why the heck won't BSD = pass the packets like a gateway to the default route ? I shouldn't even = need two NICs. ------=_NextPart_000_0034_01C04840.CE68B7D0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4207.2601" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I want to put my FreeBSD box between my = LAN and my=20 DSL router, without using any NAT.
