This may not be the answer that you are looking for, but why not plug the cable modem to your BSD box, stick another NIC in it, and have the 2nd NIC connect to the uplink on the hub and everything else connect to the hub? This way, it should solve the problem, and you can NAT/Firewall your network to boot! :) Christian On Mon, Jul 30, 2001 at 02:11:35PM -0500, root babbled: > Delivered-To: cschreiber@netrail.net > Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2001 14:11:35 -0500 (CDT) > From: root <root@deicide.alntn1.tx.home.com> > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > List-ID: <freebsd-questions.FreeBSD.ORG> > List-Archive: <http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/>; (Web Archive) > List-Help: <mailto:majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG?subject=help> (List Instructions) > List-Subscribe: <mailto:majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG?subject=subscribe%20freebsd-questions> > List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG?subject=unsubscribe%20freebsd-questions> > X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG > Precedence: bulk > > I am having bandwidth issues with my freeBSD > Operating system. > I am attempting to setup 3 computers through > a hub.
