Hi Everyone ... thanks for your help thus far. I've
made some changes below. [I have Not made all the
changes that you've kindly suggested but enough that I
am able to ping back and forth ... if I have ignored
your suggestion and you still see a gapping error,
please feel free to reinterate, I won't hold it again
you!]
OK, the changes ...
-I got rid of the ifconfig_vr0
-I set ifconfig_ed0 to 192.168.0.1 (where as _vr0 was
initially set as the gateway)
- I tried pinging from Freebsd to 192.168.0.4 the
WinXP #2 machine. and got through!
- I tried pinging from the WindXP #2 to itself at
192.168.0.4 andit got through.
- I tried pinging from the WindXP #2 to ed0 at
192.168.0.1 andit got through!
BUT I still cannot get the WIN XP webbrowser to read
the internet.
What is wrong?
I think that the
natd_flags="redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.3:80 80"
should be:
natd_flags="redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.1:80 80"
I will try changing this and see what happends....
I have include the revised RC.CONF below:

<><><><><>
Also, a small problem ---> I have a webserver running
on the Freebsd box but everytime I reboot, I get a new
IP address(from above: 6X.9X.11X.3X). The fixed IP
address always seems to be: 6X.23X.25X.12X. However,
I have my domain name set to redirect towardsthe
dynamic address so everytime I reboot, I have to tell
the DNS server that holds my domain name my new IP
address. Is there a way to configure it so that I
don't have to continuously change the IP address on
the DNS?
Should I just get rid of the line:
ifconfig_vr0="DHCP"
and set the DNS to 6X.23X.25X.12X? Would that do the
trick? Or should I get rid of ifconfig_ed0="DHCP"?
Thanks again

MY original Post
<><><><><><><>
I have a Freebsd 5.1 box connected to the internet.
It works. But I am now trying to network two other
Win XP machines as per the following network
hierarchy:
<><><>
Setup
<><><>
ISP-> DSL Modem -> FreeBSD box :
1) "vr0" 192.168.0.1 [Gateway machine address]
2) "ed0" 192.168.0.3 [Internal Network address]
connects to:->
4- port HUB ->
1)WinXP machine #1 192.168.0.2
2)Freebsd Box 192.168.0.3
3)WinXP machine #2 192.168.0.4
<><><>
Problem:
<><><>
I cannot communicate to the Internet from WinXP #2
(Have not tried to config WinXP #1 yet).
<><><>
Browser Config
<><><>
IE Brower Settings for WinXP #2 {Tools>Internet
Options>Connections>)
-I set the browser so that it never dials a connection
because it is suppose to be networked right?
- in the LAN Settings option, I set the Proxyserver
option with the address of the gateway of 192.168.0.1
with Port 80
<><><>
Dialouge
<><><>
>From Freebsd Machine
# ping 192.168.0.4
PING 192.168.0.4 (192.168.0.4): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down
-at one point I was able to ping the freebsd machine
from WinXP #2 but then for some reason, I made a
change and cannot ping anymore...
<><><>
