I am planning to build a bastion firewall in freebsd to separate my internal network with the outside network. Since freebsd will be directly connected with the cable line "since it will be the firewall" I need to set it up so it will share the connection with the rest of my pcs through a switch. How do I set it up to share the internet connection "this box has two nic cards, one directly connected to the cable line and the other one to my internal pcs." Will I need to use this freebsd firewall as a gateway to the rest of the pcs and is this the right thing to do? I would really appreciate your help guys since I've never done anything like this. Thanks a lot, Roberto __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo!
