First off, you dont need to post this question to the stable mailing list, only questions. Second, use a subject heading, otherwise people will not look at your question. I only looked at it by accident. 3) Check http://www.dejanews.com, click on power search, for the forms enter in mailing.freebsd.*,comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.* and search on the relavant key words to your question. You will find many of postings dealing with the same issue you are dealing with 4) Check the handbook http://www.freebsd.org. There is a section on what you need. 5) Provide more information on what your x86 box is. e.g. give the output of uname -v, and tell people what network cards you are using. If you had an ne2000 on your FreeBSD box, ifconfig ed0 inet 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig inet 10.10.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 And on the Alpha box route add default 10.10.10.1 At 12:23 PM 9/21/99 -0700, wwoods@cybcon.com wrote: >OK, this is what I am looking at doing.. >the easiest way to describe this is with >a picture... > >------------ ----------- dial >| |---->| |---------> ISP >| Alpha | | X86 | up ppp >|----------| |---------| > >I have a crossover cable that I plan on useing to network the two systems together and I was >wondering where I would look for the instructions >on how to set up the networking between the two >boxes.
