They wont take a signal in one, and resend it out the other. You generally specify which type, twisted pair or thin in software setup utility software, or some just auto-sense which you plug in and use that I beleive. What you need is a HUB with RJ45 ports on the front, and a BNC connector on the back, You Terminate the Coax to the left of Computer 1, run to computer 2, run to computer 3, run to the back of the hub, terminate. Then you run RJ45 frmo computer 4, to an RJ45 port on the front of the HUB. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "pirat sriyotha" To: Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2001 4:07 AM Subject: router > hi sirs, > > apologize for asking a rather dumb question. > > i have three machines connected via bnc lan card. and > they are all connected by coaxial cable. the first > one is a gateway for the lan, sure it has a modem. > they are all powered by FreeBSD-4.4 stable. > > with ppp -nat isp, i can access the Internet from any > of my machines. > > now comes the problem. i have luckily additional > machine run by ME and the lan card nowaday is twisted > paired rj-45 connected. i can't find any of coaxial > bnc connected lan card in my region. > > so i install rj-45 lan card to my exsting lan at the > 3rd machine and the new one. > > i do not use a hub. but cross the signal line of cable > that connected the new segment. so now my ne(o)twork > looks like this > > FreeBSD(1){gateway}[bnc]--FreeBSD(2)[bnc]--FreeBSD(3)[bnc,rj-45]---ME[rj-45] > > i have tried setting up firewall + natd at the 3rd > machine but it won't work. i mean my previous network > can't see ME machine and ME machine can't access the > Internet. > > that's all i have done. > > my question is that what should i do in order to let > the ME machine being part of my network. > > please cc to me since i do not subscribe to the list. > > any helps or hints or suggestions would be > appreciated. > > thanks in advance and apologize for my english. > > with best regards, > psr > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Send your FREE holiday greetings online! > http://greetings.yahoo.com > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use iQA/AwUBPC7al1Fb04N5DzUjEQIZRwCgvS98noBw+fpqifIla0+hrGXLeBEAn3rd Gcvs/02AEsk79lH6bkfLeI4a =6xov -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
