I am trying to have the following configuration: |-------| | Win9x | |---| #2 | |---------| | |-------| | FreeBSD |-----+ | #1 | | |---------| | |-------| |---| Win9x | | #3 | |-------| FreeBSD #1 (3.1) has IP address 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Win9x #2 has 5 computers with IP address 192.168.1.2 to 6 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0) Win9x #3 has 2 computer with IP address 192.168.2.1 to 2 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0) #1, #2 are okay, but #3 couldn't connect to the network. It could connect to the network when I change the IP address from 192.168.2.x to 192.168.1.x. In other words, it's IP is incorrect. But, I don't know why it is incorrect. I would appreciate it if someone could help me solve the problem and tell me the reason. In addition, I would like to change the FreeBSD #1's IP address to 192.168.0.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Is it right that I only need to change the address inside rc.conf?
