IMHO, FWIW ;) If you only have 1 Win box and 1 FBSD box, I wouldn't use DHCP 
on your LAN (seems kinda pointless for only 2 machines).

I have the same setup and I have manually assigned Windows a static IP of 
192.168.x.x, the FBSD box has a static IP of 192.168.x.y in the internal 
interface and the external interface gets a 'dynamic' IP from @Home's DHCP 
server. The Windows' gateway is 192.168.x.y and the FBSD's gateway is 
assigned by @Home.


p.s. I am not the originator of this thread, Henry smith <getzz11@yahoo.com> 
I think is the one who originally asked the question.
