I'm assuming one is connected to the Internet, and the other is connected to the regular LAN network. You can route them using the route add command, and once you get it working you can put these into the rc.conf to make the change permanent. The handbook has a lot of details on this. Also, making BSD a gateway router is not very safe unless you use a firewall. Currently I am using FreeBSD at home, and I am attempting to make it a router. However, I don't want to use it as a gateway/router until I master using it as a firewall as well. regards, Joaquin
