This is a bad thing I take it? 1) The extra overhead of double-processing packets 2) Setting up static NAT or redirected ports becomes a nightmare 3) You're limited by what the DSL modem can NAT; at least on FreeBSD you have the source to hack :) > What would you reccomend doing to get around this? Finding an ISP in your area that does bridged, or dropping NAT from the BSD box and letting the router take care of that. I have a bridged DSL connection so I don't have this problem :) Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | www.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
