I have 2 W2k boxes & 1 Fbsd box...I would love to use
the fbsd box as a dfgw/ipfw/natd for the other 2 boxes
when connecting to the internet...I am just now learning
fbsd, so I am very confused! I am planning on getting
ISDN from my only local ISP soon, but I am sure the IP
they will give my router will be dynamic....If I can't
locate an internal USRobotics Sportster 128k non-PnP,
I will buy a Nortel RT338 stand-alone ISDN Router...
My quandary is this.....how in the heck can I tell the
fbsd box that the router,which doesn't have an IP from
the ISP yet, is where packets are to be routed? I
have been told by others that I won't be using pppd,
ppp, or even pppoed in this type of setup...I am
leaning toward the Nortel, as it would allow me to
have net access if the hd on the bsd box were to die.
I do not want the ISDN router to control the NAT for
my network, or use it's DHCP capabilities....
Thanks,
Jeb
