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...
