Help!!!!

I'm trying to set up a home network using a BSD box as a server and a Windows box as a client.

Information on the web involving nat etc. is so contradictory and outdated I am getting nowhere.

I have connectivity between the boxes using Telnet, but I cannot get out to the internet with the client.

Using FreeBSD 4.1.1

BSD box:    ed0 is 24.aa.bb.cc    255.255.252.0 (NIC to the net using DHCP)
                  ed1 is 10.0.0.1         255.255.255.0 (internal network NIC)

Windows Box is 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0

Is the any step by step SIMPLE instructions on where and how to configure the firewall, and NAT and such?

I'm not a complete freaking idiot, but I'm too new at this to cipher through what is outdated and what is accurate, and what is horsesh*t inacurately written by other amateurs.

thanx
J.R.
