I am a beginner at UNIX, so please bear with me as I ask the following question: I have FreeBSD 2.2.2 installed on my P166, and I have a 3C590 (or something like that) ethernet card and a US Robotic 56K modem. I have gotten to the point where I can setup the ethernet card to work and the modem to work, but not at the same time. I have a modem dial-up account with a local ISP, and a three computer LAN at home. I use fake IP addresses for the LAN at home, and my ISP dynamically assigns theirs. How can I set both the modem and the ethernet to work concurrently? I know this is possible with Win95. For example, I can have my ethernet card talk to the LAN while using the modem to talk to my ISP.I have also found that I can setup my computer as some sort of a gateway so that computers on my LAN can use my modem connection to the net. So, how would I go about setting both devices up to coexist? Once that is setup, how can I go about setting up the "gateway". If that is too complex a material to explain, where can I get some reading material on it? Thank you for taking your time to read this. This problem probably can a simple solution, but I am a beginner, so please tell it to me. Thanks again! I appreciate it.
