If so, it won't work. You'll need to act the machine which connects to the internet as a router/gateway. Below, box1, box2 and box3 are on the same internal network (192.168.x.x or so) and box3 additionally is configured with your fixed IP for connecting to the internet. box3 then should do IP aliasing and is the gateway for box1 and box2. How you set this when box3 is a Windows machine, I don't know. If box3 is the FreeBSD box, then the ppp configured correctly will work nicely. box1------------ \ ---box3====internet / box2------------ Kurt >I have 3 machines (2 windows and 1 freebsd).
