I've installed a copy of FreeBSD3.3 which came with the Walnut Creek/ Lehey "Complete FreeBSD" book. Now, I'd like to install an up-to-date FreeBSD and use it in one box on a LAN as a server. I'd like this machine to be the only machine connected to the 'outside'/Internet, but enable other local machines to connect via the FreeBSD box. Some questions I'd like to ask you : * Can I buy the Cheapbytes FreeBSD 4.0 CD, & upgrade with this ? How do I do that... Do I install using the FreeBSD3.3 disks, and then upgrade various packages from the 4.0 disk ? * I'm confused by the terminology... From the linux world, the HOWTOs I've read use the term "IP Masquerading", but I don't find that with FreeBSD... I find terms such as "IP aliasing". Is this just a synonym, or is there something more radically different betwixt the two ? Thanks. -- Le biblioteche ci hanno dato il potere, poi il lavoro č venuto e ci ha reso liberi.
