Yup, you're right. I'm planning to upgrade the cpu & memory & get a second nic, then i'll setup NAT or something with my windows machines behind the bsd box. Thanks :) -----Original Message----- From: 1@bendcable.com [mailto:1@bendcable.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2003 10:46 AM To: dfbtech@telus.net; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: HELP - changed ISP and im blocked out! This is just going to happen again when your computers renew an IP address. The reason your ISP is giving you more then 1 subnet is because they added a new block of IP addresses to the router on the ISP side and had to setup new routing and subnet masks to do this. It would be far better for you to route your own private network especially if you are sharing any resources with your computers. You are not secure right now from hackers! ---- Original Message ---- From: dfbtech@telus.net To: garyj@jennejohn.org, Subject: RE: HELP - changed ISP and im blocked out!
