I configured it in this way: ppp -background -nat MYISP It works OK and I have access to a lot of Internet services. My question is: do I need to configure this machine with firewall, so I can protect my internal network from the outside net? If I need so, please tell me a good place to start with firewalls for FreeBSD. Thanks very much, Nuno Teixeira To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
