You'll need two network cards in the P120 for a "true" gateway. Cable modem tutorial: http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/cable.html General firewalling/gateway tutorials: http://www.freebsddiary.org/goodstart.html http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/routing.html I found http://www.freebsddiary.org to be a great place for real world HOW-TO situations. Also, Dan's site at http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd has many tutorials. This topic has also been addressed many times on this list...you can search the archives. Which OS is running on clients behind the firewall/gateway (P120 running FreeBSD) is irrelevant, provided your AMD box can boot either OS (Win98 or Linux) correctly, and both operating systems are set to use the P120 as the default gateway. I have a DSL connection, and have several different OS clients running behind my FreeBSD firewall, including an Alpha running RedHat 5.2. - John Turner At 02:43 PM 8/19/00, whitehat@home.com wrote: >I recently purchased a AMD Athlon 600mhz Duron system, and have equipped >it with Redhat Linux.
