Having two cards on one LAN lowers the overall throughput on the network to which they are attached. Depending on how the network is configured, your "private" network may be leaking out to the public (e.g. when the device to the outside world is a bridge). If you have one physical network, you should be using _one_ NIC with an alias. /etc/rc.conf would look like this, ifconfig_pn0="inet 207.XXX.X.XX netmask 255.255.255.248" ifconfig_pn0_alias0="inet 192.196.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0" -- Crist J.
