I have three computers. One which will be running FreeBSD 3.1. A MAC and a Win 98 machine. Obviously the FreeBSD machine will be the server. I have a static IP adress from my ISP and would like to connect to the internet with my 56K modem and network the other two to this so they two can get onto the internet .I guess via a gateway I supply with the FreeBSD machine. I know the this could get bogged down if all three machines are trying to do something at the same time, but this would be rare. I know this is very vague and I have alot of reading to do, but is this sort of thing possible. I guess I would need an ethernet card in each machine and a hub??
