What you are asking help on is fairly common. 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 <ethernet interface on alpha device> 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.
