I just want to get = it up and running so I can start learning to use it . I have not gotten = X to work yet on the bsd box yet....except when I used an old 4MB card. = But X was too slow. Here is my setup now: My main computer is WinXP (because the rest of the family uses it). = It is connected to Adelphia cable modem via a D-Link, DI-524 wireless = router. My Daughter is connected to internet via the WLAN. My freeBSD = box is connected to modem via a crossover cable. bsd box has 96MB of = RAM, Riva-TNT 16MB videocard on a intel 440 EX MoBo. I was going to use the bsd box as a router/firewall, but i don't = know enough yet...so it is just a stand alone station. My problem right = now is that I want to be able to see the rest of the network from the = bsd box. I cannot ping the other 2 machines. And without X, I am not = sure what to use to see if I am hitting internet with it. Yeah...I know = i'm a newbie. any thoughts
