Hi,

A few notes:

- Thanks again, Julian! I tried your configuration and now mpd binds to 
a port!!! You are awesome.
Apparently my mistake was that I had only one entry in the mpd.links 
file.  This should be mentioned in the docs, I didn't see it there.  Oh 
yea, and its mpd 3.8, of course :), that silly typo.

- Now that perfectly works, (proxy-arp too, is very impressive) I am 
trying to figure out how to forward broadcast packets from ng0 to fxp0 
and vice-versa.  Something tells me since this is an interface created 
by netgraph, it should be possible.  I tried the ether.bridge in 
/usr/share/examples/netgraph/ but I got the same error as I did with 
tun0:  interface ng0 not found.  I suppose this is reasonable and intended.

- srgtd: I haven't tried mpd with 98 yet, but I did try with an XP 
client. That works fine.  If i end up setting that up, I will let you know.

- Thanks everyone!
