------- start of forwarded message (RFC 934 encapsulation) ------- Message-ID: <19980724182918.10709.rocketmail@send1e.yahoomail.com> Received: from [206.52.116.245] by send1e; Fri, 24 Jul 1998 11:29:18 PDT MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii From: Jim McGeever <mcgeever@yahoo.com> To: wollman@freebsd.org Subject: FreeBSD and the internet Date: Fri, 24 Jul 1998 11:29:18 -0700 (PDT) I have just come across FreeBSD and was wondering if it does Network Address Translation (NAT) and if so can it handle invalid host TCp/IP configurations. If not is there a developer out there you could put me in touch with who may be able to develop this feature. Basically i have a hotel and would like to install a system that would let guests use their own laptops in their rooms to connect to the internet via a T-1. If they are configured for DHCP this is not a problem, as any NT server can do it. However a lot of laptops are configured for static IP addresses. I would like for the server to be able to recognize these or any invalid configurations and do some kind of translation that would allow them to access the web without having to change their own configurations. SO if you could let me know what is possible with FreeBSd and if you could put me in touch with someone who could help me, i would very much appreciate it.
