Hi!
I am a beginner at UNIX, so please bear with me as I ask
the following question:
I have FreeBSD 2.2.2 installed on my P166, and I have a
3C590 (or something like that) ethernet card and a US
Robotic 56K modem. I have gotten to the point where I
can setup the ethernet card to work and the modem to
work, but not at the same time. I have a modem dial-up
account with a local ISP, and a three computer LAN at
home. I use fake IP addresses for the LAN at home, and
my ISP dynamically assigns theirs. How can I set both the
modem and the ethernet to work concurrently so that the
fake IP address of the NIC can coexist with the dynamically
allocated IP from my ISP modem connection?
I know this is possible with Win95. For example, I can have
my ethernet card (with the fake 209.129.21.1 address) talk to the
LAN while using the modem (with dynamic IP address) to
talk to my ISP.
Thank you for taking your time to read this. This problem probably
can a simple solution, but I am a beginner, so please tell it to me.
Thanks ahead of time! I appreciate it.
