I want to set up a FreeBSD 5.x box as a router/gateway on a permanent= connection with a fixed IP address, there will also be other machines with fixed IP addresses (not 192.168.x.x= but proper IP's) on this network. something like this: To internet exchange on T1 Leased Line | | | dc0 (196.x.x.1) --------- FreeBSD router/ gateway --------- | lr0 | | | --------- switch/hub --------- | | | | 196.x.x.2 | | 196.x.x.3 -------- -------- Server 1 Server 2 -------- -------- Obviously I have to have two network cards in the router/gateway (dc0 and= lr0), I assume that I will configure dc0 with my fixed IP, but what do I do with= lr0? Can somebody please point me in the right direction. Thanks extech
