[-- Attachment #1 --] Here's the deal. My friends and I are having a UNIX-Only LAN party this weekend (this also happens to include Linux-based GNU systems for the practicle reason of that i'm the only person who uses FreeBSD at school). The question is, that since i don't have a static IP, if i put them in /etc/hosts as ip's like 127.0.0.2 and 127.0.0.3, and then use natd so that they can get out-side access through me and the like, would any problems arise, or does anyone have a suggestion on how to set this up (using a coaxal thinnet and such) so that everything will work correctly? -- William D.
