Quick and dirty: 1. Assign IP addresses to the FreeBSD box and the Windows box. Be sure to use non-routable addresses: 10.X.X.X, 192.168.X.X, 172.16.X.X 2. Assuming that you're connecting via a modem and PPP the easiest way to accomplish this is to run 'ppp' with the '-alias' switch. 3. Tell the Windows box that the FreeBSD box is the gateway and you're all set. You should check out the FreeBSD diary at http://www.freebsddiary.com/ for a more detailed explanation and some real world examples. If you're using a cable modem or *DSL you'll find useful information at FreeBSD diary. Good luck...
