To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: NAT & Adding a NIC Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi ya's, I have searched around, but I haven`t found pretty consise instructions on how to setup just basic NAT on FreeBSD 4.2. 1.) If I don`t want to get into customizing a full firewall, and really just need the bare-minimum NAT features, which program would you recommend that I run - natd, ipfw, etc. 2.) I have one NIC in the machine right now, how would I go about adding another one? Any kernel changes needed? 3.) Do I need to setup PPP if my network connection is already running fine off a DSL connection? (In some instructions I came across, they mentioned setting up PPP. 4.) If I don`t have my own domain name for the machine that is going to be running NAT, how would I setup my hosts files?
