I haven't seen how the Windows networking works -- not at all -- since the last time I used something Win', Windows did not *do* internet things. And it's not like knowing about Unix networking is actually going to be of any use in the Win' world. I have tried helping a friend, but my lack of experience with Windows was really obvious. > Assume the FreeBSD box was the dual-homed unit.

Assuming that BSD has the address 10.7.0.1 in the internal network, then the only setting needed in Windows is to set the 'gateway' to this address. In BSD, you ought to set up ip-firewalling and packet forwarding, which is described in various places, the handbook and the faq providing some good starting points. -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
