All the IP = addresses were assigned by DHCP. I did not do anything manually. I do = have good news though. I am going to follow this guide. Thanks to the = other person who suggested it. http://www.unixguide.net/freebsd/fbsd_installguide/index.php=20 I have read it and even though I am using 5.3, it seems to make sense to = me to do it step by step this way. So instead of trying to setup a stand = alone work station to learn on, I will make it a gateway router. Thats = what I wanted to do in the first place. As a matter of fact, a couple of = years ago someone on Linuxhelp (radiogeo.....good ole George), helped me = setup a Slackware router/firewall box out of a 486DX 50. It worked = great. My main computer took a dump and I never hooked the router back = up when the box was built. So after a couple of years I am back at = trying this UNIX thing.=20 I'll let you know how its going from time to time if thats ok. I = have only one question about this. If I still want to use my wireless = router as a switch.....will it work? Thanks, Buddy
