Remember that you'll need a crossover cable between them if you're not using a switch/hub. If you also want the FreeBSD machine to be able to access the Internet through the XP machine, you'll need to enable 'Internet Connection Sharing' on the XP box. See Microsoft's documentation or search in the Windows newsgroups for details on how to do that... Cheers, Scott
