I was told, the gateway > (the FreeBSD-box) has to have a IP in the private company network > (192.168.3.x), because they are all Windows machines and Windows > needs this (i don't know if Windows does it really need). I don't think it is needed. Just put a default route to 192.168.3.104 on every machine on the 100 Mb network and use another C-class for the FreeBSD. The only way where it could matter is if the FreeBSD was also a Samba server (SMB can't be routed). > 3. ifconfigs for the FreeBSD-box: > ifconfig ed0 inet 1.2.3.253 netmask 0xffffff00 > ifconfig ed0 inet 192.168.3.1 netmask 0xfffffc00 alias Hmmm, why 0xfffffc00 ? That makes it a /22 network. If you plan to use 4 C-class network, why not put 192.168.3.103 on one end and 192.168.2.103 on the other end of the router ? What I don't understand is why you split a C-class network in half... -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #25: Tue Oct 15 21:13:57 MET DST 1996
