Any services you are running on the box that SPECIFICALLY listen to a certain address may be changed to listen on all addresses or to add this new address if needed. hth. m/ > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-net@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-net@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Bob Ababurko > Sent: Saturday, September 11, 2004 4:49 PM > To: freebsd-net@FreeBSD.org > Subject: gateway for separate networks > > > Hello all- > > I want to install another NIC in my box running 5.2.1 to > access another > network.
