Presumably he's using the BSD box as the router (PPPoE). You can get away with a single NIC just fine; I go through PPPoE with the single NIC in my old 486 router, and forward ports internally. You want "nat unregistered_only yes" in the ppp.conf so it only NAT's private IP's and leaves public ones alone. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
