I do know however that it's 100 times easy to go the other way. Let FreeBSD handle the internet connection, and do your browseing in windows. FreeBSD does a much better job handleing the connection, and takes some load off the windows machine. You get better performance, less lost connaections , and maybe even less Windows lockups.
