Look up NAT on the freebsd site (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/natd.html) and look up NAT on the ipfilter site either of those options will solve your issues. In a nutshell you will create a NAT gateway that has 1 real ip. Behind it you will be able to use whatever reserved (192.168.0.0 etc) addresses that you desire. The only catch to this is that they will be able to contact the outside world, but the outside world will not be able to contact them. This means if you want to set up services like shares / ftp / web services you will either have to assign real ips to those machines, or learn about transparent proxying / port redirection. hope this helps, Marc Rogers Technical Director EDC On Tue, Aug 28, 2001 at 11:51:37AM -0400, Shane Crounse wrote: > Here is my dilemma.
