Hi Chris (HTML mail messes up the search indexing, regular text is preferred) I'd *really* recommend front-ending the internet connection with the FreeBSD box and using the NAT features builtin to FreeBSD's PPP instead. Here is a good link: http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/index.html This assumes you're doing dialup on an analog modem... let us know if it's DSL and we'll point out another resource. Welcome aboard! FreeBSD can be a little work to get started for those unfamiliar with Unix; Stick with it, you'll soon find the liberty that it brings.
