I am going to forward my current services above to my current BSD box and the NEW PORTS direct to the Win box(s) that I need to test this software on . My thoughts were to leave the current gateway as 192.160.0.1 and the FreeSCO box name it 192.168.0.254 . I would like to direct outbound web surfing via the BSD box as current as it would be a PITA to change all the machines on the LAN My question(s) a) is this overkill ( is there an EASIER way to do what I want ( port redirecting ) ( bearing in mind that although the lights are on in the attic they are at times low wattage :-) ) b ) WHAT do I need to change on my BSD box ( rc.conf etc ) to make it work the way described ? Remembering that this is only temporary . Thanks in advance for any advice Regards Benny
