Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by hub.freebsd.org id AAA10986 Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have another (likely dumb) question. I have a customer that has co-located his FreeBSD box at my site. I want to assign him a block of IP numbers which is a subnet that is different from my LAN. I have configured the routing so that that block of IP numbers is sent through his ethernet port. The question I have is this: Can I use the lp0 interface for these numbers? ( I am not sure how to word what I want to do here, but I hope this makes sense). If so, how do I set up the lp0 interface? I have tried using ifconfig lp0 inet x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.224 but it wants to know the other end of the point-to-point connection. How do I change lp0 to a broadcast interface ( is that what I want????)? My apologies in advance for the wording of this message. I am not familiar with the correct terminology. If the question makes sense, but more info is needed, let me know. Perhaps (most likely) there is an easier/better way to do this. I am open to any and all suggestions.
