One advantage is you can keep you current subnet and with the freebsd box you could run a whole another subnet with it .. or it can be used just to learn and play. But with a dlink already in the network Iwould use it as a play thing and try new things on that box. I like to use p1 and below for small routers anything above is a good test platform for new projects I want to learn ----- Original Message ----- From: "RD" <unixnoob@charter.net> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Cc: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 4:08 PM Subject: FreeBSD Router/Firewall Questions > Hi guys, me again :) > well I've been reading up on compiling a kernel for nat and ipfw.
