If this is how you're setting it up, you should connect the cable modem straight to the FreeBSD machine and put a second network card into it. You might want to consider having the FreeBSD machine being router and FTP server on one IP, and leave one IP for a Win95 machine, as most of those internet-telephones don't work through NATD. I have one IP, so the FreeBSD machine is on the cable modem, with a second network card going to a hub to which all my other machines are connected. >> Also, can I set up some type of firewall. The Handbook has info on installing firewalling. I can send you some sample rules. >Sure, this is easy.
