  my FBSD box is my internet gateway (firewall/gateway/connection to net), my win98se box is set to private IP addy,
  ok, i am on a cable modem (@home) and they are on a DHCP network, the only thing that stays the same is the HOSTNAME, 
  if in that confiuration, how am i supposed to setup (in windows) my gateway in network properties, also the DNS in on the otherside of my FBSD computer, how am i supposed to setup my DNS and Gateway???
  i can ping my FBSD system by computer name and both IP's (internal and external), i cant ping anything else
  i have also changed my windows DNS settings to my ISP's DNS server IP, but i also had the hostname and the domain name to set, my ISP domain is @home form what i know, how do you totally find that out??
  also the hostname i set to both mrboboo-2 and c158580-a and neither worked (mrboboo-2 is the name of the win98se computer, c158580-a is the FBSD computer when online)
  any clues??

  my /etc/rc.conf looks like this: 
  network_interfaces="rl0 vr0"
  ifconfig_vr0-"inet 192.168.1.1netmask 255.255.255.0"
  defaultrouter="DHCP"
  hostname="c158580-a"
  gateway_enable="YES"
   
  my  looks like this:
  interface "rl0" {
  send host-name "cr123456-a";
  request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers,
            domain-name-servers, domain-name, time-servers;
  require domain-name-servers;
  }
   
  my /etc/hosts looks like this:
  127.0.0.1        localhost.yowza.com localost    #dont know how but this works properly which was set as default with the OS
  192.168.1.2        mrboboo-2    #this works fine also, i can ping the windows machine by comp name and internal IP
   
   
   
   
  if anyone knows how to get windows to work properly with dynamic DNS and GATEWAY info, then pllez help
  or if they know of a better way than to configure it, like if i am trying to do it incorrectly
