You have to use natd (network address translation daemon), available at ftp://ftp.suutari.iki.fi/pub/natd This software is also integrated into more recent distributions of FreeBSD. BTW, having a cable modem as you do was the original motivation for the auther of natd (Ari Suutari) to write this software. -- Charles Mott On Sun, 31 Aug 1997, David Empey wrote: > Greetings: > > I am attempting to use a freebsd box (via a cable modem) to connect a > Win95 machine to the net.
