My office network is set up as follows: gateway/win xp home ed./apache fbsd 4.8/apache rh linux 9/apache win xp home/lots of im'g win xp home * dual boot - debian/win me That last one's pending a repair and os installs currently runs w98. I'd like to move the gateway from my xp workstation to the fbsd box. This raises a bunch of questions for me: 1. is there a CLI query to let me find the speed of the currently installed modem? 2. besides plugging my phone line into the fbsd modem and moving my xp hosts file to /etc/hosts, what else is needed? e.g. how do I setup the isp connection and the fbsd equivalent of window's internet connection service? 3. what is advisable to use on the fbsd gateway to control viruses and adware that's been spreading like wildfire on my windows nodes? 4. overall, how big a deal is the migration?
