My internet connection with be thru a analog leased line (33.6) or possibly even 56k What I also intend to do is setup a ftp server, that will be one of the machines in the home network and also an http server, a different machine in the home network. This machines will have 'fake' ip addresses since I will only be assigned one address and that will be used by the firewall! What I want to know is how would I go about doing this and would the 486 machine be able to function properly as the firewall? Can you point me to the howto on the internet please! A diagram for the network is shown below! http server --- |-------- 486 Firewall ---------- internet! ftp server ---- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
