Edit /etc/rc.conf and add configuration details for the second nic there. Look for "network_interfaces", your first nic plus lo0 will be listed there, add the second nic (you can determine the names by looking at the output of dmesg. Since you are using identical cards the name should be the same as the first with the number increased by 1. So if you currently have network_interfaces="ed1 lo0" make it network_interfaces="ed1 ed2 lo0" Next find the ifconfig line corresponding to your first nic. ifconfig_ed1="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00" and add another line for your second nic ifconfig_ed2="inet 172.16.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00" While you're in there set firewall_enable to YES and firewall_type to OPEN, you already build a new kernel with IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT right?
