You have it backwards, unless I've missed something special windows 98 will NOT allow Network Address Translation. You may want to use the FreeBSD box as an NAT box with your '98 machine behind it. As far as i know, you need special software to run '98 as a router, while FreeBSD comes bundled with such software. On your freebsd box, check out: "man natd" "man ppp" (look for the -alias flag) -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
