Stanley You question is not clear on what your final goal is, But maybe I can read between the lines. It is very common to use an FBSD gateway box with an single public ip address to share internet access with work stations on the private LAN behind the gateway box. DHCP can be used in this setting to assign the private reserved ip address to the LAN workstations. To complete this setup you also need to run some kind of NAT (network address translation) between the private LAN ip address and the single public internet address. If you have phone dial in to your ISP using (user ppp) then just enable it's built in NAT function. If you have DSL or cable internet connection then you need to use the NAT function of one of the FBSD firewall applications. I recommend ipnat/IPFILTER as it's the easiest to configure.

May I know is that possible to allocate false IP (not the real one) to other desktops so to access the internet? Is there any online documents about this topic? Thanks for your advice and assistance.
