Yes because they are on different networks. you will need a router for them to communicate. =20 >=20 > If so, how do allow them to communicate? >=20 firewall =3D firewall, router, gateway, bridge, etc. with FreeBSD and the right software it will do all of that transparently. Setup a test lab of some sorts, start with this layout and work your way up until you understand what it's doing: Internet | | |-------WAN(s) 192.168.1/24 Firewall | | HQ LAN 192.168.0/24 You will need 3 PCs; one for the LAN, one on the WAN1 side and one for the firewall. For the firewall you will be using m0n0wall, 48MB ram (minimum) and 3 network cards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M0n0wall http://m0n0.ch/wall/download.php?file=3Dgeneric-pc-1.2b9.img http://m0n0.ch/wall/installation_generic.php http://m0n0.ch/wall/quickstart/ http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Reviews-161-ProdID-MONOWALL.php http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Reviews-161-ProdID-MONOWALL.php If you need any help setting it up etc. just ask me, I started using it sometime late in 2003 so I probably have more experience using the software then most people you'll run across
