{resending because it seems not to have made it to the list}
I am looking to put together a low low end FreeBSD machine to ask
as a ``router'' (is that the right term?) to do what I think it
called `IP-Masquerading'
Basically I have a cable modem and 2 computers, but only one static
IP. I need the 2 computers to be able to talk to one another (NFS)
and would like to be able to reach the internet through either
machine.
I have an Ethernet hub (Linksys, 5 port). I also have an extra
Intel EtherExpress ethernet card I'd like to use for the new cheap
machine.
I need to know how low-end I can go. 486dx/66? What kind of
additional hardware?
Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. I've never done
this before but have some UNIX experience (NeXTStep).
