Hey all -- I have a freebsd box and a sparc running solaris sitting here waiting for me to create a network. I've been having my problems, however. I have a 5 port hub which has an uplink port. I have a cable modem connection, which I currently have set up with just my freebsd box using dhcp. 1) would it be possible to hook the cable modem into the uplink port, have the freebsd box and sparc in two other ports, and have the freebsd box use natd and act as a gateway? Or am I going to need a second ethernet card on the gateway box? 2) If that is possible, can anyone point me in the right direction? I've yet to find information concerning uplink ports on hubs in combination with internal networks... Thanks all, -- Mark Maurer markm@dct.com Programmer: Digital Magic Interactive mwmaurer@mtu.edu Senior, Michigan Tech University "The OOP fold think they are about to inherit the worlk, while I am becoming increasingly convinced they are becoming obsolete" -- Bob Cringely To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
